- Selenium supplementation for mild-to-moderate Graves ophthalmopathy (GO) was investigated in selenium-sufficient regions.
- No significant benefit in improving quality of life or clinical outcomes was observed at 6 months.
- However, potential short-term improvements were noted at 3 months.
- Selenium supplementation may have potential as an adjunct therapy for GO management.
- The researchers suggested further investigations of selenium for GO patients are suggested because these results differ from findings in selenium-deficient populations.
