Graves' disease questionnaire

About this research

What researchers are looking at

Antithyroid pills slow the thyroid down. They don't change why it's overactive: antibodies from your own immune system switching it on.

Much of today's Graves' research is aimed at that immune cause. Each study tests its own approach, and the site explains yours before you agree to anything.

Antibodies switch the thyroid on, and the body speeds up. Pills slow the thyroid. Much of today's research looks at the antibodies.

Questions

What people with Graves' ask us most

The research site answers the rest when they call. More general questions here.

Do I have to stop taking methimazole?

Usually not. Many Graves' studies add the investigational treatment to your current medication. The study doctor explains any change before you agree.

I've had radioactive iodine or thyroid surgery. Can I join?

Probably not for this research, which is for people whose thyroid is still in place.

Is there a placebo?

Some studies use one. If yours does, the consent form says so and gives you the odds.

Does it cost anything?

No. Study care and visits are provided at no cost, and many studies pay for time and travel.

Can I keep seeing my endocrinologist?

Yes. Your own doctor stays your doctor.

Does finishing the questionnaire mean I'm in?

No. It's a first match. A study doctor decides at a screening visit.
