Filter by:Patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery requiring double-lumen tube intubation are randomized into two groups; gum group and control group. In the gum group, patients are instructed to chew gum for 2 minutes, approximately 10 minutes before induction of anesthesia. Patients in the control group are instructed to swallow saliva twice. Postoperative sore throat and hoarseness are assessed 30 minutes after recovery room admission, and at 2 and 24 hours after extubation.
In this pilot trial, 150 confirmed COVID-19 individuals will be randomly assigned to 1 of 5 groups: distilled water, CloSYS Ultra Sensitive Rinse (Rowpar Pharmaceutical Inc., USA), Oral-B Mouth Sore (Oral-B, USA), Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection (Crest, USA), or Listerine Zero (Johnson and Johnson, USA). Study participants will be asked to rinse/gargle with 10-20ml (according to the rinse instructions) of the assigned solutions 4 times per day, for 30-60 seconds, for 4 weeks.
Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is now the most frequently diagnosed head and neck cancer in Denmark which is mainly due to the increase of Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Patients with HPV-positive OPSCC have a significantly higher survival rate compared to HPV-negative OPSCC. The traditional primary treatment modality in Denmark is Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), and in advanced stages in combination with chemotherapy. Since 2009, Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) has enabled surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery as an alternative to standard radiotherapy treatment which is considered the primary treatment for OPSCC in many countries. There is a lack of randomised trials comparing long-term functional outcomes after TORS or IMRT. Current data are mostly derived from retrospective studies with selection bias. However, several small retrospective studies have shown promising results when comparing the two treatment modalities in favour of TORS with regards to treatment related swallowing function and quality of life (QoL) without compromising survival outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the early and long-term functional outcomes following two treatment arms 1) TORS combined with neck dissection and 2) IMRT±concurrent chemotherapy with a special focus on swallowing-related QoL.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate no less therapeutic efficacy and safety of the Angal S, topical spray [Menthol], 0,5 mg + 2 mg (Sandoz dd, Slovenia) compared to ANTI-ANGIN® FORMULA, topical metered spray, 0,12 mg + 0,24 mg (LLC "Valeant", Russia) in treatment of patients with uncomplicated acute infectious and inflammatory diseases of the pharynx, accompanied by a sore throat.
The study is a epidemiological, cross-sectional study in a mainly rural area of Denmark in Denmark. Life expectancy is shorter, morbidity is higher, and social problems more prevalent than in the urban areas of the country. The population study aims at examining complexities of environmental, hereditary, lifestyle, and social factors as determinants and predisposing factors for morbidity, health, and quality of life. The study will cover physical, mental, and social dimensions and examine family patterns and subgroups. The study will provide baseline information for later follow-up.
This study is intended to collect data regarding treatment with a new flexible fiber used to transmit laser emitted from a Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser to the transoral region. This study will include a single treatment that is performed transorally (through the mouth) for oral or laryngeal indications in the field of Ear, Nose and Throate (ENT).
The purpose of this observational study is to examine RSI (Reflux Symptom Index) and RFS (Reflux Finding Score) by treatment period before and after rabeprazole treatment in LaryngoPharyngeal Reflux Disease(LPRD) patients.
