Summary
This pilot project will randomize a small sample of patients about to undergo surgery for
their autoimmune, inflammatory thyroid disease, and determine if a short course of prednisone
alters the inflammation of the gland and makes surgery less difficult. It will enroll 30
participants who will each be on study for up to 7 months.
