Clinical Validation of NerveTrend Versus NerveAssure Mode of Intraoperative Neuromonitoring in Prevention of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injury During Thyroid Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare 2 modes of NIM Vital application in thyroid surgery: NerveTrend versus NerveAssure with respect to the prevalence of postoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury.

Background

The use of NerveTrend compared with intermittent neuromonitoring (i-IONM) in thyroid surgery has recently been reported to result in a tendency toward reduced RLN injury on postoperative day 1 (POD1) and a significant decrease in the need for staged thyroidectomy. However, it remains unclear whether this technique is inferior to continuous neuromonitoring (NerveAssure).

Methods

Prospective, single-center, 2-arm randomized clinical trial. The primary outcome was the prevalence of RLN injury on POD1. In the NerveTrend group, the surgeon-operated i-IONM stimulation probe
