NCT ID NCT06670521

First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026

Summary

This study tests if a short course of steroids given through a vein can reduce swelling in the throat and improve swallowing in people who recently had a breathing tube. About 80 adults from several hospitals will take part. Half will get the steroid and half a placebo, and neither they nor their doctors will know which they received.
