What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Lateral cervical lymph node cleaning time

    Lateral cervical lymph node clean time from that beginning of cut the SCM leading edge to the end of the specimen

    Measured: During surgery

  2. Accessory nerve injury

    Accessory nerve injury

    Measured: During surgery

  3. Intraoperative internal jugular vein bleeding.

    Internal carotid vein hemorrhage affect that surgical procedure

    Measured: 6 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The time of the thyroid gland removal

    The time of the thyroid gland removal , including the opening of the white line to the thyroid, and the end of the specimen

    Measured: During surgery

  2. Number of participants with HypoParathyroidism

    The parathyroid function was examined six months after surgery.

    Measured: 6 months after surgery

  3. Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.

    The recurrent laryngeal nerve function due to nerve injury or thermal damage can not be recovered for 6 months.

    Measured: 6 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Robot and Total endoscopic in people with Thyroid Carcinoma and Robot Surgery, run by Fujian Medical University at 2 sites 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 5 inclusion and 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lateral cervical lymph node cleaning time (time frame: During surgery). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 18 Apr 2018.
