Can a simple spray soothe Post-Surgery throat pain?
NCT ID NCT06676748
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a benzydamine throat spray, an anti-inflammatory pain reliever, can reduce sore throat after surgery that uses a breathing tube. About 106 women undergoing gynecological surgery will be randomly assigned to receive the spray or usual care. The study will compare how many women have a sore throat right after surgery and four hours later, as well as pain severity and any side effects.
