This study tests adding a sedative (dexmedetomidine) to the usual numbing medicine (bupivacaine) for a scalp block before brain surgery. The goal is to see if this combination reduces pain after surgery better than the numbing medicine alone.
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.
This study tests a nerve block (a numbing injection near the cheekbone) to reduce pain after tonsil surgery in children with sleep apnea. It might help them have less pain and recover more comfortably.
This study tests adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to a numbing injection near the cheekbone to see if it improves pain control for children having their tonsils partially removed. It aims to make recovery more comfortable and reduce breathing problems after surgery.
This study tests a numbing injection near a nerve in the nose (called a sphenopalatine ganglion block) to see if it reduces pain after tonsil removal in children. The goal is to help children recover with less discomfort.
This study tests whether a numbing mist sprayed into the throat before surgery can reduce sore throat pain children feel after having their tonsils removed. It compares two numbing medicines to see if one works better than the other.
