Nerve block for pain after tonsillectomy in children
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special nerve block behind the cheekbone can reduce pain after tonsil and adenoid removal in children. It may help your child have less pain and need fewer pain medicines.
