Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine whether the use of anti-adhesion barrier after thyroid surgery can prevent the voice changes after surgery, using objective voice-related indicators.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

* Randomized controlled study
* Including 40 patients in each arm
* Treatment: anti-adhesion barrier apply on the thyroidectomy space
* Control: No use of anti-adhesion barrier
* Primary outcome: VHI-30 (Voice handicap index)
* Secondary outcome: findings from stroboscopy, CSL (Computerize Speech Lab)
* Outcome measurement: preoperative, post-operative 3 months, post-operative 9 months.

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
Participants do not know about the use of anti-adhesion agents.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment

Use of Anti-adhesion barrier on the thyroidectomy space. After the thyroidectomy, anti-adhesion barrier will be applied on the thyroidectomy space, around the trachea, cricothyroid muscle and platysma muscle before the closure of surgical wound.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Anti-adhesion barrier (Collarbarrier)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Collagen derived anti-adhesion barrier

Control

No use of anti-adhesion barrier. After the thyroidectomy, don't use the anti-adhesion barrier before the wound closure.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
