Reducing nausea after child tonsil surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if giving a steroid (dexamethasone) and using special monitoring during surgery can lower the chance of nausea and vomiting after your child's tonsil or adenoid removal. It may help your child feel better sooner after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 8 years old
- Your child is having endoscopic adenoidectomy (a type of surgery to remove adenoids through the nose)
- Your child is generally healthy (classified as ASA I or II by the anesthesiologist)
- Your child does not have any brain, stomach, or intestinal disease
- Your child is not currently taking steroid (cortisone) medication

This trial tests whether giving two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) through the nose can help children ages 3-7 have less pain after their tonsil or adenoid surgery. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain without using strong drugs.
This study tests three different medicines to help young children relax before surgery to remove their tonsils and adenoids. It aims to find which medicine works best and is safest for kids ages 2 to 5.
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 tests whether giving children either oral melatonin or a nebulized sedative (dexmedetomidine) before surgery can reduce confusion and restlessness (emergence agitation) when they wake up from anesthesia. It may help children recover more calmly after adenotonsillectomy.
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.
