Track surgery results in kids getting tonsil removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well a specific throat surgery technique works in children who are having their tonsils removed (with or without removing adenoids). It may help improve how doctors choose and perform surgery for safer, better recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 3 and 17 years old
- Have a planned tonsillectomy at Loma Linda University Health (with or without adenoid removal)
- Not have a birth condition or developmental delay
- Not have cancer
- Not use a feeding tube (gastrostomy tube) or rely on one
- Your planned tonsil surgery must not be the “intracapsular” type

This study compares two types of tonsil surgery to see which works better for adults with obstructive sleep apnea caused by large tonsils. It may help you breathe better during sleep.
This study compares two different exercises (called oral reeducation) to see which works better for children who still have breathing problems during sleep even after getting their tonsils or adenoids removed. It helps kids breathe easier at night.
This study looks at whether removing the tonsils and adenoids helps children with mild sleep apnea open their mouths wider and feel better overall.
This study looks at how removing the adenoids (and tonsils) affects a child's voice. It measures voice changes before and after surgery to see if the procedure improves or alters how the child sounds.
This study tests different ways to manage pain after tonsillectomy in children. The goal is to find better pain relief options.
This study tests if removing the tonsils together with implanting a nerve stimulator (Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation) can better treat sleep apnea in people whose throat sides collapse during sleep.
