Lollipop to help children's stomach recovery after surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial gives children a lollipop after major abdominal surgery to see if it helps their stomach and intestines work better sooner. Children who can suck and swallow, are not on a breathing machine, and have no food allergies may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is having a major abdominal surgery (like appendix removal or bowel surgery).
- Your child does not have a neurological condition that prevents sucking or swallowing.
- Your child will not be on a breathing machine, sedation, or heart-support medications right after surgery.
- Your child has no known food allergy or allergy to food coloring.

This study tests whether taking lactulose (a gentle laxative) after appendix removal helps your stomach and intestines work normally again. The trial compares lactulose to a placebo (inactive pill) to see which helps patients recover bowel function faster.
This trial tests if taking probiotics (healthy bacteria) before and after surgery can help your bowels start working again sooner. It's for people having planned colorectal cancer surgery.
This study tests whether giving children a lollipop after surgery helps prevent confusion and agitation as they wake up from anesthesia. Emergence delirium—when children are disoriented and upset after anesthesia—is common, and the researchers want to see if this simple comfort measure helps.
This study tests whether giving a lollipop before surgery helps reduce anxiety in children. It's a simple, friendly way to see if a sweet treat can make the experience less scary.
This trial tests if chewing gum after open stomach or bowel surgery can help your intestines start moving again sooner. It is for people undergoing open gastrointestinal surgery who do not have certain health conditions or take specific medicines.
This trial tests a stomach (gastrointestinal) stimulation approach to help your bowels start working again after extensive surgery, which may cause a temporary problem called postoperative ileus. If it helps, it could mean faster recovery and less time with bowel-related complications.
