Assessment of Thyroid Doppler Ultrasound in Followup of Pediatric Graves' Disease
An observational study of Graves' Disease, run by Assiut University.
Trial summary
All cases of the study will be diagnosed as Graves' by History, examination, laboratory (FT3, FT4, TSH \& TRAbs), X-ray on left wrist for bone age, neck grey scale ultrasonography for thyroid gland size, shape, echotexture, vascularity and nodule characters if present with TIRAD score calculation.

About this study
Official title: Assessment of Thyroid Doppler Ultrasound in Relation to Clinical and Laboratory Parameters in Follow up of Pediatric Graves' Disease
All cases of the study will be diagnosed as Graves' by History, examination, laboratory (FT3, FT4, TSH \& TRAbs), X-ray on left wrist for bone age, neck grey scale ultrasonography for thyroid gland size, shape, echotexture, vascularity and nodule characters if present with TIRAD score calculation.
Then Color flow doppler ultrasound will be done to asses thyroid volume, number of vessels per square cm and inferior thyroid artery peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity and resistive index. Patients then will receive carbimazole antithyroid drug at dose 0.25-0.5 mg/kg/day PO \& the dose will be titrated according to thyroid function test after 4-6 weeks.

Beta-adrenergic blockade will be added to all symptomatic cases. Regular follow up will be done every month of first 3 months of diagnosis and then every 3 months for 2 years by clinical and thyroid function test to asses response, compliance, complications, drug side effects, remission and relapses.
Doppler ultrasound will be done at 0, 12 and 24 months.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
All cases of the study will be diagnosed as Graves' by History, examination, laboratory (FT3, FT4, TSH \& TRAbs), X-ray on left wrist for bone age, neck grey scale ultrasonography for thyroid gland size, shape, echotexture, vascularity and nodule characters if present with TIRAD score calculation.
Then Color flow doppler ultrasound will be done to asses thyroid volume, number of vessels per square cm and inferior thyroid artery peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity and resistive index. Patients then will receive carbimazole antithyroid drug at dose 0.25-0.5 mg/kg/day PO \& the dose will be titrated according to thyroid function test after 4-6 weeks.

Regular follow up will be done every month of first 3 months of diagnosis and then every 3 months for 2 years by clinical and thyroid function test to asses response, compliance, complications, drug side effects, remission and relapses.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Graves' Disease, run by Assiut University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Hanaa A Mohamad, Professor of pediatrics (01064747613, hae50@aun.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
thyroid volume (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jul 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
