Testing pain-relief methods for adult tonsillectomy
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial looks at how best to control pain for adults having tonsil removal (tonsillectomy) on an outpatient basis. It may help find a pain plan that works well and is safe for people like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a planned tonsillectomy (tonsil removal).
- You do not have a bleeding problem you were born with or developed later.

- You can safely take the pain medicines used in the study, including if you are pregnant or could become pregnant.
- You do not have a known allergy to any of the pain medicines used in the study.
- Any current pain medicine you take can be paused if the study requires it.
