Trial summary

Aim: Graves's disease and thyroiditis can both characterized with thyrotoxicosis, but their clinical outcome and therapy is quiet different. Measurement of iodine uptake is the gold standard to differential diagnosis the thyroiditis or Graves's disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Differential Diagnosis Value of Peak Systolic Velocity of Thyroid Superior Artery Using Color Flow Doppler Sonography in Transient Thyrotoxicosis Caused by Thyroiditis and Graves Disease

Aim: Graves's disease and thyroiditis can both characterized with thyrotoxicosis, but their clinical outcome and therapy is quiet different. Measurement of iodine uptake is the gold standard to differential diagnosis the thyroiditis or Graves's disease. But the iodine uptake is limited for its availability in china and easily influenced by medicine or food contained iodine.The blood pattern of thyroid CFDS is useful for differentiate the cause of thyrotoxicosis.Most previous studies using the descriptive pattern of thyroid CFDS is easily varied by operator subjective judgement. This study is focus on the role of peak systolic velocity of thyroid superior artery in differential diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis. Methods: Patients with thyrotoxicosis symptoms without recent medicine history were enrolled in two clinical center. Its thyroid function, iodine uptake , CFDS of thyroid and peak systolic velocity of thyroid superior artery is detected. Thyrotoxicosis is defined as TSH level below the low value of normal range. Graves disease is defined as the typical symptoms of graves disease such as graves ophthalmopathy or increased iodine uptake. Thyroiditis is defined as lack of typical symptoms of graves disease or decreased iodine uptake.We use receiver operator curve(ROC) to evaluate its diagnosis value

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thyrotoxicosis and Peak Systolic Velocity of Superior Thyroid Artery, run by xiaolong zhao at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

mean STA-PSV (time frame: 2014-04-07). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01227499, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 May 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
