Brief summary
The purpose of this study will to evaluate the degree of postoperative sore throat and Life Impairment changes in patients with sleep apnea who underwent da Vinci robotic arm surgery as an intervention of oral cryotherapy.
Detailed description
An experimental study was conducted with 32 patients in the experimental group and 32 patients in the control group. The experimental group used drinking water from a water dispenser with regular filter replacement and maintenance, plus a 2x5x7 cm (50 ml) ice lolly module to make ice lollies,and then intervened in the postsurgical period using oral cold therapy (ice lolly in the mouth),while the control group received general routine care. The control group received regular care. The assessment tools included the Pain Profile Scale and the Life Impairment Scale, and the assessment period was from the first day to the 14th day after the operation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sore throat | up to 2 weeks | The Pain Profile Scale assesses the pain level of the patient, which consists of 8 items: total pain level, throat pain level, throat pain during swallowing, ear pain during swallowing, difficulty swallowing, limitation of physical activity, oral odor, and sleep disruption, and other symptoms related to pain. The scoring criteria are based on a four-point scale: 0 for no sensation, 1 for mild, 2 for The scale is based on a four-point scale: 0 for no sensation, 1 for mild, 2 for moderate, and 3 for severe to present a multidimensional pain assessment. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| daily life | up to 2 weeks | The secondary outcome was to measure the extent to which the level of physical pain interfered with daily life, with a scale of 1 as not at all interfered, 2 as somewhat interfering, 3 as moderately interfering, 4 as considerably interfering, and 5 as extremely interfering, to understand the impact of pain on daily life. |
