U.S., Feb. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07381998) titled 'Effects of Total Thyroid Removal on Parathyroid Function and Quality of Life' on Jan. 21.
Brief Summary: Postoperative hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) is the most frequent complication after total thyroidectomy (TT). It is caused by impaired parathyroid function, leading to low calcium levels, patient discomfort, reduced quality of life (QoL), and increased healthcare costs. Traditionally, all TT patients undergo routine postoperative blood testing and standard calcium supplementation, despite varying individual risk.
This investigator-initiated project aims to improve patient outcomes by using intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH)...
