The goal of this observational study is to develop a questionnaire for measuring swallowing and throat discomfort symptoms in patients with goiter or thyroidectomy, which complies with the model of Rasch and which satisfies the fundamental measurement axioms (e.g., unidimensionality, linearity, generalizability). Developing a scale with such characteristics would provide …
Levothyroxine is the most used thyroid hormone replacement when the thyroid gland is failing. Because dosage adjustment normally takes several months, the investigators have developed a decision support tool (DST) that predicts optimal dosage based on repeated blood samples the first 2 weeks after initiation of therapy. In this randomized …
The randomized, actively controlled, non-inferiority trial is scheduled to begin in August 2024 and run through August 2026. Inclusion criteria: (1) has undergone microwave ablation of thyroid or thyroidectomy (including endoscopy and opening) at the Department of Thyroid Surgery of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, (2) is between 18 …
The investigators have previously proposed a prediction model for difficult transoral and submental thyroidectomy through a retrospective study. In order to better promote transoral and submental endoscopic approach for thyroid surgery and to set up an appropriate training course, the investigators aim to renovate and validate the prediction model through …
The purpose of this study to learn more about the use of redifferentiating medications as a standard treatment for radioactive iodine/RAI-refractory thyroid cancer. This study is a registry study.
The purpose of this research study is to see if the amount of vitamin D in ones blood makes it more or less likely to develop thyroid gland toxicity when being treated with immunotherapy that blocks the activity of proteins called programed death-1(PD-1) or programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1). Immunotherapy is …
The aim of this multicentric, randomised, two-arms and single-blinded clinical trial is to prospectively evaluate OptiThyDose for Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) and Graves' disease (GD).
This study aims to investigate the analgesic efficacy of Intermediate Cervical Plexus Block combined with GA using two bupivacaine concentrations in patients undergoing neck surgeries (total thyroidectomy or total laryngectomy)
To develop and validate a structured scoring tool (robotic thyroidectomy assessment score, RTAS) for assessing and quantifying surgical performance in robotic thyroidectomy (RT).
Our overall goal is to determine the clinical consequences of allowing greater flexibility in LT4 dosing in older individuals who take LT4.
