This is common with nodules being found in up to 68% of people in a neck ultrasound, with likelihood increasing with age. However, only about 1 in 20 nodules turns out to be cancerous.\n\nDiagnosis of thyroid nodules starts with ultrasonic assessment, where specific features have been identified to estimate the risk of malignancy. If further examination is recommended, Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) is performed. A needle is inserted into the nodule and the obtained subset of cells are then classified into 6 categories (Bethesda score) after examination under the microscope. While some Bethesda scores provide very accurate malignancy predictions, others like category 4, are unspecific, with risk of malignancy ranging from 25 to 40%. For these patients, about 75% are operated on even though they are not prospectively diagnosed.\n\nSoft tissue has certain physical properties, including its compressibility, which could be quantified by measuring the pressure required to deform it. It has been found that cancerous tissue is often harder than the surrounding healthy tissue. Compremium, a Swiss company which has its headquarters in Muri bei Bern, has developed a device that can be used to measure the compressibility of tissue, similarly to palpation but providing a quantitative assessment. The present study aims to investigate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of this new technology to predict if thyroid nodules of patients scheduled for surgical removal based on FNA analysis are malignant or not.",[26],"Thyroid Nodule (Diagnosis)","RECRUITING","2025-08-18",{"date":30,"type":31},"2025-08-19","ACTUAL",{"date":33,"type":31},"2025-08-15",{"date":35,"type":20},"2026-12-16",{"name":37,"class":38},"Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern","OTHER",1,{"id":41,"slug":42,"hasResults":11,"nctId":43,"briefTitle":44,"officialTitle":45,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":46,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":17,"maxAge":47,"enrollmentInfo":48,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":50,"briefSummary":51,"conditions":52,"keywords":55,"overallStatus":59,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":60,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":61,"startDateStruct":63,"completionDateStruct":65,"leadSponsor":67,"locationsCount":39},"100577026","investigation-of-the-effect-of-using-curtain-100577026","NCT06792942","Investigation of the Effect of Using \"Curtain\"","Investigation of the Effect of Using \"Curtain\" as a Distraction Method on Fear, Anxiety and Pain in Diagnostic Procedures Performed in Patients With Suspected Thyroid Mass","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Suspicion of a mass in the thyroid\n* No vision problems\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Mental health problems","75 Years",{"count":49,"type":20},100,[23],"Thyroid nodules are among the common health problems in adulthood. Thyroid cancers account for approximately 1% of all malignancies in a year.The majority of cancers are diagnosed by thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy. The most commonly diagnosed cancer type is papillary thyroid cancer and accounts for 85% of all thyroid cancers.Thyroid Ultrasonography is the most important imaging method used in the evaluation of the thyroid gland and its nodules. It enables the detection of nodules and their characteristics and plays a role in deciding which nodules should be evaluated with fine needle aspiration biopsy.Non-pharmacological treatment methods are interventions that can be used to reduce the side effects of medical, surgical or pharmacological treatments. By using medical treatment and complementary therapy together, nurses can reduce patients' anxiety, support their sleep, create a healing environment and increase their health level.\n\nAs a non-pharmacological strategy, distraction can be seen as a cost-effective approach to reduce anxiety in procedures that would cause negative anxiety and increase the opportunity for ease of operation.

The majority of cancers are diagnosed by thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy. Thyroid nodules generally show clinical findings in 1-5% of cases on physical examination and 20-70% on ultrasound examination. In diagnosis; Ultrasonography, fine needle aspiration biopsy, ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy, scintigraphy, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are widely used. The fact that the thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy procedure is painful, there is no speaking or coughing during the procedure, and in case of insufficient sample, the procedure must be performed several times. Its repetition causes fear and anxiety in patients. A combination of pharmacological and nonpharmacological methods for pain control likely provides the most effective pain relief for the patient. Distraction is one of the non-pharmacological methods used in pain control. Distraction is one of the most preferred methods to reduce pain in patients during diagnosis and treatment procedures. It is a method that allows patients to control and reduce the symptoms they experience by focusing their attention on a different point.The aim of this study is to examine the effect of using a motivational video with virtual reality glasses to distract attention during the biopsy procedure on pain, stress and fear in individuals with suspected thyroid cancer.",[80,81,57,54,26],"Thyroid Cancer","Virtual Reality Therapy",[80,81,57,58,83],"Fine needle aspiration biopsy",{"date":62,"type":31},{"date":86,"type":20},"2025-02-25",{"date":88,"type":20},"2025-08-30",{"name":68,"class":38}]
