NCT05579782Completed
Assessing Benefits of NIRAF Detection for Identifying Parathyroid Glands During Total Thyroidectomy
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 31 Jul 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study describes a single center, randomized, single-blinded clinical trial to assess the clinical benefits of the use of near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) detection with an FDA-cleared device 'Parathyroid Eye (PTeye)' for identifying parathyroid glands during total thyroidectomy. It compares risk-benefits and outcomes in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy where NIRAF detection with PTeye for parathyroid identification is either used or not used.
