New study aims to stop coughing after sinus surgery
NCT ID NCT07213037
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding magnesium sulfate or lidocaine to a standard sedative (dexmedetomidine) better prevents coughing after functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Coughing after this surgery can cause bleeding and slow recovery. About 102 adults will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two drug combinations, and researchers will measure how severe their coughing is as they wake up from anesthesia.
