Recruiting studies
- NCT06882980Recruiting
Comparing two sedatives for children's tonsil surgery
This study compares two sedative medications, ciprofol and propofol, for children (ages 3–11) during tonsil or adenoid removal surgery. It uses special brain-wave monitors (IoC1 and IoC2) to see which drug provides safer, more stable sedation.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 3–11 - NCT07379866Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain relief after tonsil removal in children
This trial tests if injecting numbing medicine near certain nerves in the head and neck can reduce pain after tonsil and adenoid surgery in children aged 5–13. It may help them recover more comfortably.
Cairo, GovernorateAges 5–13 - NCT07332780Recruiting
Tonsil and adenoid surgery for kids with mild breathing troubles during sleep
This study looks at whether removing tonsils and adenoids can help improve spine curves in children who have mild sleep-disordered breathing. It may help prevent scoliosis from getting worse.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 6–15 - NCT07345715Recruiting
Melatonin vs. dexmedetomidine for preventing agitation after tonsil surgery in children
This study tests whether giving children either oral melatonin or a nebulized sedative (dexmedetomidine) before surgery can reduce confusion and restlessness (emergence agitation) when they wake up from anesthesia. It may help children recover more calmly after adenotonsillectomy.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 3–7 - NCT07175779Recruiting
Comparing video calls vs. in-person visits for kids' surgery checkups
This trial tests whether a video call before surgery works as well as an in-person hospital visit for checking breathing risks in children getting their tonsils or adenoids removed. It may help families avoid extra trips to the hospital.
Bellinzona, Canton TicinoAges Up to 16 years - NCT07297784Enrolling by invitation
Screen time and pain after tonsil removal in children
This study looks at whether children who use a lot of screens (like tablets, phones, or TV) feel more or less pain after tonsil surgery. It could help parents understand how media use affects recovery.
Tokat Province, Tokat ProvinceAges 4–11 - NCT05508971Recruiting
Personalized tonsil surgery for sleep apnea in children with Down syndrome
This study tests whether a personalized surgical approach can treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children with Down syndrome. The goal is to improve breathing during sleep and overall sleep health.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 2–17 - NCT06258837Recruiting
Personalized surgery for sleep apnea in children with small tonsils
This study tests a personalized surgical approach for children with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who have small tonsils. The goal is to see if tailored surgery improves their breathing during sleep and overall health.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 2–17 - NCT07655817RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Magnesium for reducing confusion after surgery in children
This trial tests if giving magnesium through the mouth works as well as through the vein to prevent confusion or agitation right after surgery in children having their tonsils out. It aims to find a simpler way to help kids wake up calmly.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges 4–7 - NCT07305168Recruiting
Breathing after tonsil surgery in children with sleep apnea
This study looks at breathing problems that can happen after tonsil or adenoid surgery in children who have sleep apnea. Researchers want to learn more so they can make surgery safer for kids.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 1–18 - NCT07479602RecruitingPhase 4
Medicine via nose for less pain after tonsil surgery in kids
This trial tests whether giving two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) through the nose can help children ages 3-7 have less pain after their tonsil or adenoid surgery. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain without using strong drugs.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 3–7 - NCT07577154Recruiting
Brain-Monitoring Anesthesia for Pediatric Throat Surgery
This trial tests a special brain-monitoring device (called Conox) during anesthesia for children having their tonsils and adenoids removed. The goal is to help doctors give the right amount of anesthetic medicine by watching your child's brain activity in real time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for adenotonsillectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12 recruiting adenotonsillectomy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a adenotonsillectomy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a adenotonsillectomy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
