Breathing trouble after jaw surgery? this trial tests a simple spray
NCT ID NCT05839756
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a nebulized steroid (budesonide) can prevent stridor—a noisy, difficult breathing caused by airway swelling—after jaw surgery. 62 adults having elective jaw surgery will receive either budesonide or a placebo before surgery. The goal is to see if the steroid reduces airway narrowing and breathing complications.
