NCT04856488
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
NCT05252884
The objective of this study is to compare the frequency of post-thyroidectomy symptomatic and biochemical hypocalcaemia between the strategy of routine prophylactic calcium + calcitriol vs the administration of calcium guided by PTH values.
NCT04932135
The investigators want to investigate if a continuous heart rate monitoring with a wrist worn fitnesstracker can be useful in the treatment and surveillance of patients suffering from Graves' disease.The aim of our research project is two-fold: First, to evaluate the use of continuous heart rate monitoring as a potential substitute for hormone measurements during treatment of hyperthyroidism. Second, to use continuous heart rate monitoring as a tool for early detection of relapse after discontinuation of antithyroid drugs.
NCT05760417
Osteoporosis is a condition that describes compromised skeletal microarchitecture in general, with clinical signs of decreased bone mineral density. Multiple sclerosis patients are at increased risk for developing osteoporosis. Identifying whether multiple sclerosis patients have information and awareness about this disease is crucial. This study is aimed to investigate awareness and knowledge of osteoporosis in patients with hyperthyroidism.

"Early paediatric Basedow disease is one of the rare endocrine diseases for which the Reference Centre for Rare Endocrine Growth Diseases, was approved by the Ministry of Health in 2005. In addition, the study will benefit from the expertise of public Health France (SFP). This study is therefore part of the missions of these partners (reference centre for endocrine growth diseases and Public Health France). For several years, our group has been interested in defining the evolutionary profile of these patients. A national study on short- and long-term patient follow-up has already been conducted, which has been the subject of two international publications29,30, as well as a study on a specific clinical form of the disease 24. This work was made possible thanks to the collaboration of paediatric clinical centres within the Reference Centre and Competence Centre for Rare Endocrine Diseases Network. The present study planned in France will make it possible to accurately characterize the care pathway and the frequency of complications associated with it at the national level.
NCT03823859
The aim of this study is to develop a metabolome signature of thyroid hormone status. The metabolome signature could be useful in diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction diseases, especially in cases where TSH cannot be reliably used.
NCT01945229
Background: Atrial fibrillation is a common heart rhythm disturbance affecting some 1-2% of the western population. It may cause symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, shortness of breath, and fatigue. It may also be asymptomatic (ie "silent atrial fibrillation). In some cases, atrial fibrillation is permanent whereas in others it is sporadic. Regardless of symptoms, there is an increased risk of stroke in some patients with this condition. Novel technologies are being developed to increase detection of silent atrial fibrillation, in order to find patients who might benefit from treatment with oral anticoagulants (blood-thinning medications) in order to reduce the risk of stroke. One of these technologies is thumb-ECG, a simple way for a patient to have his or her heart rhythm reliably analyzed at home. Hyperthyroidism (sometimes referred to as "toxic goiter") is defined as an excessive production of thyroid hormone. It is known that hyperthyroidism may cause atrial fibrillation in about 8% of cases. Objective: To provide thumb-ECG-monitors to hyperthyroid patients before and after treating their hormonal disturbance, in order to find episodes of silent atrial fibrillation. Design: Prospective observational study. Hypotheses: * Primary hypothesis: Silent atrial fibrillation is at least as common as overt atrial fibrillation in hyperthyroid patients. * Secondary hypothesis nr 1: Atrial fibrillation continues to be more prevalent compared to the normal population even after hyperthyroidism is treated. * Secondary hypothesis nr 2: The majority of patients with hyperthyroidism and atrial fibrillation are at increased risk of stroke and should be considered for treatment with oral anticoagulants.
NCT03303053
Hyperthyroidism is the second most common endocrine disorder in the world with Graves' disease being the commonest. Anti thyroid drugs including methimazole, carbimazole, and propylthiouracil are effective treatments but take in most cases between 6 to 8 weeks to achieve euthyroidism. This study aim to assess the efficacy of cholestyramine and prednisolone as adjunctive treatment to standard treatment in patients with overt hyperthyroidism in 4 weeks.
NCT00946296
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a brief course of SSKI (saturated solution of potassium iodide) administered preoperatively provides any benefit in the surgical management of patients undergoing thyroidectomy as definitive management of their Graves Disease.
NCT00822289
Because of the high iodine uptake in the stomach, radioactive iodine treatment for thyroid diseases (cancer or hyperthyroidism) or radioactive iodine administered for thyroid scan may be able to eradicate H.pylori infection from the stomach of patients infected with H.pylori. Also to test the hypothesis that CagA virulent strains of H.pylori are more common in patients with thyroid cancer than with other thyroid diseases.
NCT00525122
Hypothesis: What is the natural course after treatment with radioactive iodine in patients with hyperthyroidism? What are the determinants for the development of acute hypo- or hyperthyroidism after treatment with radioactive iodine without antithyroid drugs?
