Self-assessment of tonsil size
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial asks participants to check their own tonsil size—no medical training needed. It helps researchers learn if people can accurately self-report tonsil size.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have no professional experience working with patients in a clinical setting.
- You have not had your tonsils removed (tonsillectomy).

This study compares two types of tonsil surgery (full removal vs. partial removal) to see which works better for treating obstructive sleep apnea in adults with enlarged tonsils.
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 trial tests whether removing enlarged tonsils helps adults with obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep) breathe better and sleep more soundly. You'd be randomly assigned to either have the surgery or standard care to see which works best.
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.
This study looks at whether removing the tonsils and adenoids helps children with mild sleep apnea open their mouths wider and feel better overall.
