ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to help patients feel less anxious during procedures related to thyroid nodules, specifically when they need a fine needle aspiration biopsy. This test is often used to check for thyroid cancer, which is a rare but serious condition. The trial will explore the use of visually interesting curtains that can be placed around the examination area to distract patients and make them feel calmer during the procedure. This method is designed to help patients focus on something pleasant instead of worrying about the process.

To participate in the trial, individuals should be between the ages of 18 and 75 and have a suspicion of a mass in the thyroid. They should not have any vision problems and must not have any mental health issues that could interfere with their ability to participate. While the trial is not yet recruiting participants, those who join can expect a supportive environment where their comfort and anxiety levels are prioritized during their medical care.
