Filter by:In this multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind stuy in which patients with acute pharyngitis will receive Myramistin™ / Placebo, which is provided as a spray. Patients will be randomised at Visit 1 on a 1:1:1:1 basis to one of the three MyramistinTM doses (0.005%, 0.01% and 0.02%) or placebo. The trial duration for an individual patient is 72 hours. The primary objective is to evaluate the short-term efficacy of different MyramistinTM doses (0.005%, 0.01% and 0.02%) compared to placebo in the symptomatic treatment of acute pharyngitis.
The aim of this multicentre, actively controlled, randomized, open label, parallel group, prospective, comparator study is to collect data on the clinical effectiveness and tolerability of the medical device ERS09 compared to a well-established comparator spray in the symptomatic treatment of sore throat due to acute pharyngitis and dry cough.
Background: Acute pharyngitis (AP) is a common presentation to the Emergency Department (ED). Most AP patients' who present to the ED are interested in relief their sore throat (pain). There are different approaches available in the literature to control AP pain. Studies have shown that the use of systemic glucocorticoids significantly decreases patients' sore throat. Up to our knowledge, there are no available trials looking at the role of nebulized glucocorticoids in treating infective AP. Aim: Our aim is to investigate in pediatrics and adults population ≥5 years presenting to ED with AP if the use of a single dose of nebulized glucocorticoids as an adjunct to standard AP treatment, compared with placebo leads to complete resolution or improvement in symptoms. Method: The investigators are planning to conduct a multi-center, double-blind randomized control trial. There will be three arms; first arm: nebulized Budesonide, second arm: nebulized Dexamethasone and third arm: placebo nebulized Normal Saline (NS). The patients will be followed up for 7 days through phone calls to assess the primary and secondary outcomes. Our primary objective is to investigate whether the use of a single dose of nebulized glucocorticoids compared with placebo leads to significant improvement or complete resolution of the sore throat within 24hrs. Our secondary objectives are to assess if a single dose of glucocorticoids will: reduce sore throat at 48 hours, reduce absence from work or school, reduce the incidence of hospital admission, and reduce the rate of re-attendance to ED. Since there is no available data about the effect of nebulized glucocorticoids in AP, the appropriate sample size will be calculated after running a pilot study. The data will be recorded in the EpiData@ software. Then the data will be analyzed using the SPSS@ software. The ethical approval was sought from the ethical committee in each participating hospital and they approved it. Results: The result of this study will be presented in local conferences as well in international conferences. The investigators will aim to publish the study in a well-known international emergency medicine journal. Clinical application: up to our knowledge this study is the first study worldwide looking at the effect of nebulized glucocorticoids in patients with infective acute pharyngitis. As mentioned earlier that there are multiple approaches available in the literature to control sore throat pain and if our hypothesis turned to be correct then another alternative treatment can be added. The investigators believe that the use of topical route to administer glucocorticoids is more convenient for physicians and have less chance to develop adverse effect in comparison to systemic steroids.
In this observational study insights regarding the tolerability and influence on the quality of life of the topical treatment Ectoin Mund- and Rachenspray compared to Emser Pastillen in patients with acute Pharyngitis/ Laryngitis under real life conditions shall be gained. Patients are treated with Ectoin Mund- & Rachenspray 1% or Emser Pastillen according to the demands of the physician and the instructions for use.
The study's purpose is to demonstrate the onset of action, i.e., time to meaningful pain relief in patients with pharyngitis, of flurbiprofen 8.75 mg lozenge using the Double-Stopwatch Method (DSW).
GABHS are common etiological agents for acute pharyngitis. However, local data is limited and large scale surveillance studies have not been done. This study aims to evaluate the disease burden in the community due to GABHS. In this study, patients presenting with signs of acute pharyngitis will be evaluated. Patients with fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be tested for Rapid Antigen Detection test (RADT)
