Periodization Resistance Training on Quality of Life in Females With Hypothyroidism
This study will be conducted to compare between the effect of nonlinear and linear periodized training on quality of life in females with hypothyroidism.
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Thyroid Hormone Supplementation in Hemodialysis Patients
Hypothyroidism, defined by elevated thyrotropin (TSH) levels, is a common endocrine complication in chronic kidney disease patients, and prior evidence shows that higher TSH levels, even within the normal laboratory range, are strongly associated with impaired quality of life and cardiovascular disease in this population. Levothyroxine is one of the …
Preoperative Lugol's Solution in Graves' Disease and Toxic Nodular Goiter
The purpose of this study is to assess if preoperative treatment with Lugol's solution prior to thyroidectomy can reduce the surgical complications hypoparathyroidism and laryngeal nerve palsy
Gluten Free Diet in Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition that reduces functioning of the thyroid gland and can lead to a substantial decline in quality of life for patients, with impacted patients often describing unremitting brain fog, fatigue/malaise and weight gain leading to difficulty functioning in their jobs and homes. It is the …
Testing a Web-based Intervention for Radioactive Iodine Symptom Management to Improve Health-related Quality of Life Among Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adult patients diagnosed with differentiated thyroid cancer can easily use and benefit from an online tool aimed to provide patients with educational resources and symptom management strategies to improve their quality of life after radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment. The main …
The Use of 124-I-PET/CT Whole Body and Lesional Dosimetry in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Study rationale High risk patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) require therapy with 131 I under thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulation. There are two methods of TSH stimulation endogenous by thyroid hormone withdrawal (THW) leading to hypothyroidism and exogenous by injection of human recombinant TSH (rhTSH Thyrogen). The appropriate 131-I …
Artificial Tears to Prevent Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction in Patients Treated With Radioactive Iodine for Thyroid Cancer
The association of radioiodine therapy for the treatment of thyroid cancer with nasolacrimal duct obstruction has been well documented in the medical literature. Prior case reports have documented radioactive iodine detection in the tears of patients following radioiodine therapy. It is possible that radioactive uptake by the cells in the …
Systematic Radioiodine Administration Versus Decision of Radioiodine Treatment Guided by a Post-operative Work-up
This trial is comparing two strategies in intermediate-risk differentiated thyroid cancer patients: Systematic radioiodine administration versus decision of radioiodine treatment guided by a post-operative work-up based on serum Tg values and diagnostic RAI scintigraphy
Lateral Cervical Node Dissection in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.
The objective of this study is to compare shoulder and neck morbidity and the effectiveness of cervical lateral nodal dissection in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer and lateral metastases between the anterior and posterior approaches to the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM)
Hereditary Risk Factors for Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancers can occur sporadically, but can also be found as tumors that cluster in families with other cancers or genetic syndromes. Researchers are studying thyroid cancer in children and families, with a particular interest in understanding genes and other factors that may put individuals at risk for developing thyroid …
