Low-Current Stimulation for Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Protection During Thyroid Surgery
Sponsor: The Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University
Summary
This single-center prospective randomized interventional study evaluated whether intraoperative low-current stimulation could assist recurrent laryngeal nerve localization and reduce temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve injury during thyroid surgery.

Interventions
3 mA low-current stimulation-assisted recurrent laryngeal nerve identification
Low-current stimulation at 3 mA was used as an adjunct to anatomical recurrent laryngeal nerve identification. Response was judged according to visible or palpable laryngeal twitch.
5 mA low-current stimulation-assisted recurrent laryngeal nerve identification
Low-current stimulation at 5 mA was used as an adjunct to anatomical recurrent laryngeal nerve identification. Response was judged according to visible or palpable laryngeal twitch.
