Active clinical trials for "Pharyngitis"

The aim of this study is to generate new clinical data about the speed of relief provided by a single application of Benzydamine hydrochloride 0,3% oromucosal spray vs Benzydamine hydrochloride 3 mg lozenges mint flavour.

Aim of this study is to investigate safety and efficacy of A. Vogel Sore throat lozenges for the treatment of of acute sore throats

We are proposing a study in which we utilize and augment the sore throat pain model to assess the analgesic effectiveness of celecoxib compared to placebo in patients with painful pharyngitis under randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled conditions.

Does presentation of clinical evidence for decision making at point-of-care improve prescribing patterns in ambulatory pediatrics?

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of APC 111 MP Tablet, 775 mg tablet, given orally (PO)once daily (QD) for 10 days compared to that of Penicillin VK, 250 mg PO four times daily (QID) for 10 days in terms of bacteriological outcome at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit (Day 14-18) in the eligible Per-Protocol bacteriological (PPb) population.

The purpose of this trial is to investigate efficacy and tolerability of lozenges containing 20 mg a mbroxol hydrochloride (Mucoangin?) relative to lozenges containing placebo and lozenges containing 3 mg benzocaine in relieving pain of sore throat in patients suffering from acute viral pharyngitis.

Background: Acute pharyngitis (AP) is a common presentation to the Emergency Department (ED). Most AP patients' who present to the ED are interested in relief their sore throat (pain). There are different approaches available in the literature to control AP pain. Studies have shown that the use of systemic glucocorticoids significantly decreases patients' sore throat. Up to our knowledge, there are no available trials looking at the role of nebulized glucocorticoids in treating infective AP. Aim: Our aim is to investigate in pediatrics and adults population ≥5 years presenting to ED with AP if the use of a single dose of nebulized glucocorticoids as an adjunct to standard AP treatment, compared with placebo leads to complete resolution or improvement in symptoms. Method: The investigators are planning to conduct a multi-center, double-blind randomized control trial. There will be three arms; first arm: nebulized Budesonide, second arm: nebulized Dexamethasone and third arm: placebo nebulized Normal Saline (NS). The patients will be followed up for 7 days through phone calls to assess the primary and secondary outcomes. Our primary objective is to investigate whether the use of a single dose of nebulized glucocorticoids compared with placebo leads to significant improvement or complete resolution of the sore throat within 24hrs. Our secondary objectives are to assess if a single dose of glucocorticoids will: reduce sore throat at 48 hours, reduce absence from work or school, reduce the incidence of hospital admission, and reduce the rate of re-attendance to ED. Since there is no available data about the effect of nebulized glucocorticoids in AP, the appropriate sample size will be calculated after running a pilot study. The data will be recorded in the EpiData@ software. Then the data will be analyzed using the SPSS@ software. The ethical approval was sought from the ethical committee in each participating hospital and they approved it. Results: The result of this study will be presented in local conferences as well in international conferences. The investigators will aim to publish the study in a well-known international emergency medicine journal. Clinical application: up to our knowledge this study is the first study worldwide looking at the effect of nebulized glucocorticoids in patients with infective acute pharyngitis. As mentioned earlier that there are multiple approaches available in the literature to control sore throat pain and if our hypothesis turned to be correct then another alternative treatment can be added. The investigators believe that the use of topical route to administer glucocorticoids is more convenient for physicians and have less chance to develop adverse effect in comparison to systemic steroids.

Currently, paracetamol and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs are widely used by emergency physicians in Turkey for the treatment of sore throat. The objective of the study is compare the efficacy of intravenous dexketoprofen and paracetamol in the treatment of the pain in patients presenting to the emergency department with sore throat

Primary Objective: To assess the efficacy of the new hard boiled Ambroxol lozenges 20 mg for the relief of sore throat pain in patients with acute pharyngitis. Secondary Objective: To assess the safety of the new hard boiled Ambroxol lozenges 20 mg in patients with acute pharyngitis.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the analgesic efficacy of a single dose of a fixed combination of 500 mg Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) and 4 mg Lidocaine in adult patients with sore throat associated with a common cold in comparison to a single treatment with 500 mg Aspirin or 4 mg Lidocaine alone as well a Placebo (treatment without any active ingredient). The combination of Aspirin and Lidocaine in a single lozenge is expected to provide relief from sore throat pain by sequential action. A very fast inset of action will be achieved by the locally acting Lidocaine and a long duration of action will be achieved by the systemically acting Aspirin.
