Research into Hypothyroidism

The main lines of research are linked to the possible benefit of combining T3 with the typical T4 treatment as a replacement therapy. Researchers also look at the persistence of symptoms despite correct replacement therapy.  

In addition, studies are being conducted into the various effects associated with hypothyroidism, such as cardiovascular repercussions, depression, and the need for treatment at certain times of life, such as pregnancy and ageing.
