Official title Evaluation of Levothyroxine Replacement Therapy After Total Thyroidectomy Using a Smart Wristband
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07733375
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The goal of this observational study is to determine whether nighttime heart rate and heart rhythm data collected by a smart wristband can identify under- or over-replacement with levothyroxine before the routine 1-month thyroid function tests in adults who have undergone total thyroidectomy. After total thyroidectomy, patients usually start levothyroxine replacement therapy, and the dose is adjusted about 1 month later based on thyroid function tests.
