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.
