Spray before surgery could ease common anesthesia side effect

NCT ID NCT06122324

Summary

This study tested whether spraying lidocaine (a numbing medicine) into the throat before surgery could reduce sore throat afterwards, a common and bothersome side effect of anesthesia. It involved 100 adults having planned gallbladder surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either the lidocaine spray or a harmless water spray, and their throat pain was measured for 24 hours after surgery.
