Spinal versus conventional fine needle for ultrasound-guided thyroid nodule biopsy: a protocol for a randomised clinical trial

CONCLUSIONS: This trial will explore whether FNAB from thyroid nodules employing spinal needles compared with conventional fine needles improves diagnostic results, thereby providing evidence-based recommendations for a future choice of the FNAB needle. Secondary outcomes are patient-experienced pain, complication rate and sensitivity and specificity.FUNDING: This trial received funding from Erik and Susanna Olesens Fond. The funding source had no influence on trial design, data collection, analysis or publication.CLINICALTRIALS: gov Identifier: NCT04879355.
