Celecoxib for Pain After Parotid Gland Surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Pain clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether the pain reliever celecoxib (Celebrex) can help control pain after a specific type of salivary gland surgery called superficial parotidectomy. If you're having this surgery, you may be able to join and take celecoxib for pain rather than other common pain medicines.
