This study tests two gels that are applied to the breathing tube before it is placed in your airway during surgery. The goal is to see if one gel is better than the other at preventing a sore throat after you wake up from anesthesia.
This trial tests two different inhaled medicines to see which one works better at preventing a sore throat after surgery. If you are having surgery with general anesthesia and a breathing tube, you might be able to join.
This trial tests a special throat coating to reduce sore throat after septoplasty, a nose surgery to improve breathing. It may help patients with severe nasal blockage feel more comfortable after surgery.
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 whether soaking the breathing tube in a steroid solution before surgery can prevent a sore throat after gallbladder removal. If it works, it could reduce post-surgery throat discomfort.
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.
