This study is looking at how different doses of levothyroxine sodium, a common medicine for an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), affect older adults. You might be able to join if you are 65 or older, have had hypothyroidism for at least six months, and are already taking levothyroxine. The study aims to see if allowing more flexibility in levothyroxine dosing improves your quality of life related to your thyroid. We don't know the current recruitment status for this study.

What's involved

You would be part of a study for six months, following a specific levothyroxine dosing strategy. The study will assess your symptoms, mood, sleep, memory, weight, lipids, and bone health.

Compensation

Follow-up

The primary outcome, Thyroid-Related Quality of Life, is measured at 6 months, which suggests the study duration for participants is at least this long.
