Impact of a special gel on tonsillectomy recovery in children
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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 compares two ways to manage pain after tonsil removal in children: a medication given by mouth or injection versus a medication applied directly to the surgical site. The goal is to find which approach works better for pain control.
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 compares different ways of caring for people after tonsil removal surgery (tonsillectomy). It aims to find which approach helps reduce pain and speed up recovery, so it may help you or your child heal more comfortably.
