Active clinical trials for "Thyroid Diseases"

During thyroid surgery the laryngeal recurrent nerves (and for this reason the voice quality) are at risk. Therefore intra operative continuous neuromonitoring could help to prevent harm to these nerves. Electromyographic data (EMG values) are collected during surgery (1). In the postoperative follow-up period detailed voice analysis is performed (2): subjective auditive perceptive evaluation and videostroboscopy. Analysis and comparison of (1) and (2) will be performed in order to find out if we can find a predictive correlation between the EMG data (1) and the voice quality (2).

Define an ultrasound/elastography benignity criteria in strategy management of a patient population carries one or more thyroid nodules.

Some recent studies have shown that intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) can aid the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) identification during thyroid surgery. However, the role of IONM in reducing the incidence of RLN injury rate and the value of this method in predicting postoperative RLN function remain controversial. Only a few published series represent level III of evidence and grade C of recommendation according to the evidence-based criteria (Sackett's classification, modified by Heinrich). Thus, the aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the impact of RLN visualization versus IONM on their morbidity following thyroid surgery.

Harmonic scalpel is a new surgical instrument. Its use has been recommended in patients submitted to total thyroidectomy. Few randomized controlled trials has been published. However they had small sample sizes, used intermediate outcomes and included different surgical procedures. Our objective is to asses the use of Harmonic scalpel in patients submitted to total thyroidectomy using surgical complications, operative time, drainage volume, postoperative pain, length of stay and costs as outcomes. Our hypothesis is that Harmonic scalpel decreases operative time,drainage volume, postoperative pain, length of stay and costs without increasing surgical complications

The study aimed to determine the best intervention between Core biopsy and Fine needle aspiration in diagnosis of thyroid malignancy.

For successful intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM), adequate reversal of neuromuscular blocking agent is a prerequisite in thyroid surgery with . The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of neostigmine just after tracheal intubation on the IONM in thyroid surgery.

The aim of our study is to evaluate whether there is a statistical difference between thyroid gland volume in patients with pathological diagnosis of endometriosis or endometrioma and in patients who underwent surgery for other gynecological reasons, and to reveal the presence of concomitant thyroid disease in these cases.

Immunohistochemical detection of the BRAF-V600E mutation on pre-operative fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) from patients suspected for papillary thyroid carcinoma, using the mutation specific antibody VE1.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the contribution of PET-CT with F18-choline in the diagnosis of thyroid nodule with indeterminate cytology in order to guide the best indication of surgical resection.

In accordance with the current guidelines,papillary thyroid microcarcinoma such as turmo invasive nerve or trachea, requires total thyroidectomy for follow-up iodine-131 treatment.In the course of clinical work, if the patient can achieve R0 resection, most of the patients do not need iodine-131 treatment,Therefore, there is no need to continue total thyroidectomy.To evaluate the practicable, thoroughness and Clinical value of bilateral central compartment dissection while preserve contrary thyroid glands.
