Sucralfate significantly reduces post-tonsillectomy throat pain and the need for analgesics. This study investigated its efficacy in managing pain after tonsillectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Post-tonsillectomy pain is a significant complication, manifesting as throat pain and otalgia.
  • Current pain management strategies offer limited effectiveness and potential side effects.
  • Sucralfate's cytoprotective properties suggest potential for healing tonsillectomy wounds.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of sucralfate in alleviating post-tonsillectomy pain.
  • To assess the impact of sucralfate on analgesic requirements and wound healing.

Main Methods:

  • A controlled study involving 80 patients undergoing tonsillectomy.
  • Investigation of sucralfate's effects on throat pain, otalgia, analgesic use, pain severity, bleeding, body temperature, and mucosal recovery.

Main Results:

  • Sucralfate demonstrated a significant reduction in throat pain.
  • Patients receiving sucralfate required fewer analgesics post-surgery.
  • No significant impact on otalgia, bleeding, or body temperature was noted.

Conclusions:

  • Sucralfate is effective in reducing throat pain and analgesic consumption after tonsillectomy.
  • It offers a promising, well-tolerated option for managing post-tonsillectomy pain.
  • Further research could explore its role in accelerating mucosal recovery.
