Testing pain control methods for children with sleep apnea having tonsil surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two pain management approaches for children with mild to moderate sleep apnea who are undergoing tonsil and adenoid removal. It aims to find which method provides better pain control and safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Children between 5 and 10 years old
- Diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea (with a specific breathing test score between 1 and 10)
- Scheduled for elective surgery to remove tonsils and adenoids
- Generally healthy (classified as ASA I or II by your anesthesiologist)

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 whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine to a nerve block around the cheekbone can improve pain relief after children’s tonsil surgery. The goal is to reduce the need for strong pain medicines and make recovery more comfortable.
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 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 tests different ways to manage pain after tonsillectomy in children. The goal is to find better pain relief options.
