Table 2

Postoperative visual analogue scale for throat pain.

	Moffett’s solution; (n=20); Mean (SD, 95% CI)	Cophenylcaine; (n=10); Mean (SD, 95% CI)	p value
VAS score for throat pain; 2 hours postoperatively	5.40; (3.12, 4.03-6.77)	2.67; (2.69, 0.91-4.42)	0.03
4 hours postoperatively	4.70; (2.96, 3.40-6.00)	2.33; (2.12, 2.25-2.41)	0.04
6 hours postoperatively	4.00; (3.08, 2.65-5.35)	2.78; (2.54, 1.12-4.44)	0.31
Morning after operation	3.10; (2.67, 1.93-4.27)	2.78; (2.64, 1.06-4.50)	0.77

Statistically significant differences in postoperative VAS score for throat pain were observed at 2 and 4 hours (p=0.03 and p=0.04).
