Official Title: Alterations in Muscle's Functional Characteristics After Parathyroid Surgery for Primary Hyperparathyroidism.
Brief Summary:
Protocol title: Alterations in functional characteristics of the muscle tissue following surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism.
Purpose: To detect any changes in functional characteristics of muscles in patients who undergo surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism compared to patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and conservative treatment, patients undergoing thyroid surgery and healthy subjects.
Design: Prospective, multi-center observational study Patient Population: Male or female subjects 18 years of age or older scheduled for parathyroidectomy No. of Subjects: 50 patients undergoing parathyroidectomy, 50 patients undergoing conservative follow up, 50 patients undergoing thyroid surgery due to nontoxic multinodular goiter or solitary nontoxic thyroid adenoma and 50 healthy control subjects, estimated up to 12 months to enroll.
Duration of Treatment: During the operation Duration of Follow-up: Follow-up will be performed daily during hospitalization and at 3, 6 and 12 months after the procedure Endpoints: To evaluate the changes in functional characteristics of all the type of muscles which occur after parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism.
