How adenoid or tonsil surgery affects children's voice
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how removing the adenoids (and sometimes tonsils) affects children's voices. It aims to see if there are changes in voice quality after surgery in children who are otherwise healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 13 years old.
- They must be scheduled for adenoid or tonsil/adenoid removal surgery.
- No vocal cord problems, cleft lip/palate, or hearing loss that requires a hearing aid.
- No chronic health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or immune problems that could slow healing.
- No bleeding disorders or use of blood thinners, and no recent respiratory infection within the last 2 weeks.
- This must be the first adenoid surgery (not a repeat procedure).
