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.
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 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 study compares different sizes of a specialized breathing tube (endotracheal tube) used during surgery to see which size causes less sore throat afterward. If you're having elective surgery under general anesthesia, this trial may help reduce your post-surgery discomfort.
This trial tests whether putting lidocaine gel on the breathing tube before surgery can reduce post-operative sore throat and coughing. It aims to make recovery more comfortable for patients having general anesthesia.
This trial tests whether a medicated mouthwash or gargle with benzydamine can help prevent a sore throat after surgery. It's for women having surgery with a type of breathing tube called a laryngeal mask airway.
