ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating how effective tramadol, a pain medication, is at reducing sore throat symptoms that often occur after thyroid surgery when a breathing tube is used during general anesthesia. Many patients experience discomfort from a sore throat after the procedure, and the researchers aim to see if tramadol can help improve this situation.

To participate in this study, you need to be a female patient aged between 65 and 74, scheduled for a specific type of thyroid surgery, and in generally good health (as defined by a certain medical classification). You'll be asked to sign a consent form agreeing to join the trial. If you have a history of certain medical conditions, previous surgeries, or are pregnant, you may not be eligible. If you choose to participate, you can expect to receive tramadol and be monitored for any changes in your sore throat after surgery. This trial is currently recruiting participants, so it’s a great opportunity to contribute to understanding better pain management after surgery.
