How adenoid and tonsil removal affects children's voices
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 13 years old.
- Your child is scheduled to have their adenoids (and possibly tonsils) removed for the first time.
- Your child has no voice problems from vocal cord issues and has never had vocal cord surgery.
- Your child does not have a cleft lip or cleft palate, and has no hearing loss that needs a hearing aid.
- Your child has no chronic health problems (like diabetes, heart disease, or immune disorders) that could delay healing.
- Your child has no bleeding disorder, does not take blood thinners, and has not had a respiratory infection in the last 2 weeks.

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 the size of enlarged adenoids (tissue at the back of the nose) relates to persistent fluid in the middle ear (otitis media with effusion) in children. The goal is to understand this link better to improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at whether teaching parents about diet (what to eat after surgery) improves recovery after a child's tonsil and adenoid removal. It may help reduce complications and make recovery smoother.
This study looks at children getting adenoid surgery (adenoidectomy) to see how different factors and surgical methods affect whether any adenoid tissue is left behind. It aims to help improve surgical outcomes.
This study looks at breathing problems that can happen after tonsil or adenoid surgery in children who have sleep apnea. Researchers want to learn more so they can make surgery safer for kids.
This trial looks at whether removing the adenoids (adenoidectomy) helps reduce allergy symptoms and allergy-related blood markers in children with allergic rhinitis. It will compare kids who get the surgery with those who don't, to see if the surgery improves their quality of life.
