ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how well two different medications, Dexmedetomidine and lidocaine, can help reduce coughing and airway reflexes in patients recovering from thyroid surgery. Coughing after surgery can sometimes lead to complications like high blood pressure and bleeding, so the researchers want to find out which medication is more effective in making the recovery process smoother.

To participate in this study, patients must be between 18 and 65 years old and scheduled for elective thyroid surgery. They should be in good health (classified as ASA class I or II) and not have conditions like asthma or a current respiratory infection. If you join the study, you'll receive one of the two medications during your recovery, and the researchers will monitor how you respond. This trial is currently looking for participants, and your involvement could help improve care for future patients undergoing similar procedures.
