This study tests whether chewing gum and gargling with cold water can reduce sore throat and other discomfort after a bronchoscopy—a procedure where doctors look inside your airways with a thin camera. If it works, it could be a simple, safe way to feel better after the procedure.
This trial tests if adding two medicines, lidocaine and dexmedetomidine, can reduce sore throat after thyroid cancer surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
This study tests whether a numbing mist sprayed into the throat before surgery can reduce sore throat pain children feel after having their tonsils removed. It compares two numbing medicines to see if one works better than the other.
This trial tests if a mist of magnesium sulfate given before surgery can lower the body's stress reaction to having a breathing tube placed. It is for people having planned gallbladder removal by laparoscopy (small incisions).
This trial compares two common medications, ketamine and magnesium sulfate, given as a mist (nebulized) before surgery to see which is better at preventing a sore throat after having a breathing tube during anesthesia. It may be a good option for you if you are having elective surgery that requires a breathing tube.
This trial compares two gels (betamethasone and lidocaine) applied to the breathing tube to see which is better at preventing a sore throat after surgery. If you are having a planned surgery under general anesthesia, this study may help find a way to reduce throat pain afterwards.
