Active clinical trials for "Pharyngitis"

Postoperative sore throat (POST) is an important problem after general anaesthesia. We assessed whether chewing gum preoperatively or mouthwash can reduce the incidence of POST after general anaesthesia administered via a streamlined liner of the pharyngeal airway (SLIPA).

The investigators propose to test the hypothesis that pre-operative gargling with licorice reduces the incidence of sore throat in rest after intubation with double-lumen endotracheal tubes compared to placebo after surgery through the first four post-extubation hours.

The goal of this non-interventional study is to investigate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of Ectoin Lozenges Honey Lemon (EHT02) compared to lozenges containing hyaluronic acid and islandic moss in the treatment of acute viral pharyngitis.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of double-lumen tube thermal-softening before intubation on the success rate of tube exchange by airway exchange catheter.

A postoperative sore throat (POST) after tracheal intubation is one of the most common postoperative problems causing dissatisfaction to participants, including sore throat, dry throat, cough, sputum, hoarseness and even dysphagia. Both nonpharmacological and pharmacological measures have been attempted to alleviate the incidence and severity of POST with variable success. Airway inflammation may be important in the pathogenesis of these symptoms in intubated participants but however, there was still no study to investigate the effect of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) for the prevention of POST. So, the investigators' study will be the first one to investigate if perioperatively intravenous (IV) Dynastat injection can be used as a new indication for POST prevention.

The purpose of this study is to identify and use patient centered outcomes to compare narrow-spectrum and broad-spectrum antibiotics for the treatment of common acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) in children.

This study aims to compare effects of two different agents on complications due to tracheal tube cuff in pediatric patients. Sore throat, hoarseness, laryngospasm, bronchospasm are the main complications.

our study aimed to evaluate the effect of nebulized lidocaine to decrease the incidence of cough and sore throat after extubation after surgeries requiring endotracheal intubation.

Comparing the effect of different methods of endotracheal tube cuff inflation on the occurrence of a postoperative sore throat and cough (Air vs Lidocaine 1% vs Lidocaine 2%).

Thermographic cameras are used to determine temperature and temperature differences. Attempts have been made to use the thermographic camera as a diagnostic tool in clinical practice. Thermographic cameras have been approved by the FDA in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The camera absorbs infrared radiation which is discharged from the tissue and than translates it to a digital data or a photograph. The camera does not radiate and direct contact with the patient is not needed. The safety is similar to a regular optic camera. No study on thermographic characteristics of inflammation of organs has been published. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate and document these characteristics of inflammation. The correlation between the thermographic imaging and the clinical diagnosis, using routine methods, will be analyzed. The differences of thermographic imaging between an inflamed organ of a subject to a non inflamed same organ of a normal control will also be analyzed. The management of the patient will be by standard practice and will not be influenced by the thermographic camera image and the study outcome.
