Self-assessment of tonsil size
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study asks people to check and report the size of their tonsils. It helps doctors learn if people can measure their own tonsils accurately, which might be useful for future at-home health checks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have not had surgery to remove your tonsils (tonsillectomy)
- You are not a healthcare professional who works with patients

This study compares two types of tonsil surgery to see which works better for adults with obstructive sleep apnea caused by large tonsils. It may help you breathe better during sleep.
This trial looks at how well a specific throat surgery technique works in children who are having their tonsils removed (with or without removing adenoids). It may help improve how doctors choose and perform surgery for safer, better recovery.
This study looks at how removing the adenoids (and tonsils) affects a child's voice. It measures voice changes before and after surgery to see if the procedure improves or alters how the child sounds.
This trial is testing whether removing enlarged tonsils can help treat obstructive sleep apnea in adults. If you have sleep apnea and your tonsils are large, this surgery might improve your breathing and sleep.
This study uses tonsil tissue that is removed during a routine tonsillectomy to grow tiny 'organoids' in the lab. Researchers will study how germs interact with human cells, which could lead to better treatments for infections.
This trial studies whether a light-based treatment (called photobiomodulation) can help children with very enlarged tonsils. It may improve breathing and sleep symptoms, and you’d have before-and-after checkups, including sleep testing.
