Predicting sore throat after thyroid surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Pain clinical trials.
This study aims to create a tool to predict which patients may experience a sore throat after thyroid surgery. By identifying risk factors, doctors can better manage and reduce throat discomfort after the procedure.
