Efficacy and safety of thermal ablation for non-nodular hyperthyroidism: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Thermal ablation appears to improve thyroid function and reduce thyroid volume in patients with non-nodular hyperthyroidism, demonstrating an acceptable safety profile. However, the evidence remains limited by the observational design, small sample sizes, and considerable heterogeneity. High-quality randomized controlled trials are warranted to validate these findings.
