Propofol vs lidocaine for calm waking after tonsillectomy in kids
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests two medicines, propofol and lidocaine, to see which one helps children wake up more calmly after tonsillectomy surgery. It may help reduce agitation and make recovery smoother.

Who can take part
- Your child is scheduled for a planned tonsillectomy (not an emergency).

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 trial compares two sedatives—melatonin and midazolam—given to children before tonsillectomy. It aims to see which one works better for calming and reducing anxiety before surgery.
This study tests whether a numbing mist sprayed into the throat before surgery can reduce sore throat pain children feel after having their tonsils removed. It compares two numbing medicines to see if one works better than the other.
This study compares two newer sedation drugs (remimazolam and ciprofol) to see which one better prevents breathing or airway problems during and after tonsil surgery in children.
This study compares two sedative medications, ciprofol and propofol, for children (ages 3–11) during tonsil or adenoid removal surgery. It uses special brain-wave monitors (IoC1 and IoC2) to see which drug provides safer, more stable sedation.
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.
