Does a Compression Vest Calm Children After Tonsil Surgery?
This study tests whether using a special compression vest (called HUGgy) during waking up from anesthesia can help reduce agitation in children after tonsil surgery. If it works, it could make recovery calmer and more comfortable for your child.

This trial tests whether giving melatonin before surgery can help children be less agitated and confused when waking up from anesthesia after tonsil removal. If it works, it could make the recovery smoother for both children and parents.
This trial tests when to give children a calming medicine (midazolam) before surgery to remove their tonsils or adenoids. Researchers want to see if the timing affects how stressed the child is, their body's stress hormone levels, and how quickly they recover after surgery.
This study tests whether using brain-wave monitoring (EEG) during anesthesia with sevoflurane can reduce the amount of pain medicine needed after tonsillectomy and improve how smoothly children wake up. It could help your child have a more comfortable recovery.
This study tests if a spray of lignocaine (a numbing medicine) given before putting the breathing tube in reduces stress for children having tonsillectomy surgery. The researchers measure stress by checking a hormone (cortisol) in the blood after the tube is placed.
This trial tests whether applying a special gel called RADA16 to the surgical site after tonsillectomy (removal of tonsils) can help children heal better and with less pain. It may offer a new way to improve recovery after this common surgery.
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.
