Active clinical trials for "Pharyngitis"

The purpose of this study was to compare the microbiological effects of two different treatments: a single dose of intramuscular benzathine penicillin G (IM BPG) vs. a 10-day daily dose of amoxicillin for the treatment of GABHS pharyngitis in children in low resource settings. This study was a prospective multi-center randomized active control treatment trial. The trial is a non-inferiority equivalence trial, to determine if amoxicillin treatment is at least as effective as the currently given IM BPG treatment.

The development of a new Ambroxol spray formulation for the treatment of sore throat pain associated with acute pharyngitis requires an initial phase II study to be conducted in order to select the most appropriate dose for pain relief.

The aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and tolerance of Ambroxol lozenges 20 mg in the treatment of sore throat in patients with acute viral pharyngitis.

The purpose of this study is to find out if tonsillectomy reduces the short-term risk of having an objectively confirmed (sequential changes in serum crp and procalcitonin levels) delayed pharyngitis episode among patients suffering from recurrent pharyngitis episodes. Other aims are to find out the effect of tonsillectomy to reduce the number of pharyngitis episodes or symptoms. Still, the possible disadvantages of tonsillectomy and changes in the quality of life after tonsillectomy among these patients are examined.

Post operative sore throat (POST) following tracheal intubation is a common problem causing dissatisfaction and discomfort to the patients. Prophylactic use of both lidocaine and dexamethasone has been used independently for this purpose. However, there is no study assessing the synergistic analgesic effects of lidocaine and dexamethasone for POST. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of lidocaine, dexamethasone and lidocaine dexamethasone combination on the incidence and severity of POST.

In France, patients with benign viral infections (ie: gastro enteritis and/or rhinopharyngitis, etc.) often receive several prescriptions from their doctors, although there is evidence that these medicines are not efficient. We hypothesize that patients could be reassured by health advices, especially if they are written. In addition, we believe that doctors would feel less guilty for not prescribing drugs if they could hand written consultation reports to patients, in these situations. We aim to assess the impact of handing to patients with viral gastroenteritis or upper respiratory tract infections, a copy of the consultation report on their medicine consumption.

The objective of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of meloxicam suspension 0.25 mg/kg/day once a day, versus diclofenac suspension 1 mg/kg/day twice a day or nimesulide suspension 4 mg/kg/day twice a day, after five days of treatment in patients with a diagnosis of acute, non-bacterial pharyngitis, pharyngotonsillitis or laryngitis

"Sore throat is one of the most common complaints encountered in clinical practice. And in 65% of cases, the infection is thought to be viral in nature. The aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic profile of 3 Ibuprofen lozenges after single administration in acute sore throat pain."

The study's purpose is to demonstrate the onset of action, i.e., time to meaningful pain relief in patients with pharyngitis, of flurbiprofen 8.75 mg lozenge using the Double-Stopwatch Method (DSW).

In some studies once daily amoxicillin therapy might be treatment of choice for Group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus pharyngitis in comparison with three to four times daily treatment with oral penicillin V.
