Ondansetron lozenge vs IV for shivering prevention in tonsillectomy
Treatments studied
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an ondansetron lozenge works as well as IV ondansetron to prevent shivering after tonsillectomy in children. It could offer a needle-free way to reduce side effects during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 15 years old.
- Your child is having their tonsils removed (tonsillectomy) under general anesthesia.
- Your child is in good health (ASA I or II, meaning no serious medical issues).
- Your child does not have an allergy to ondansetron.
- Your child does not have sleep apnea, heart or lung disease, or a current upper respiratory infection.
- Your child is not taking corticosteroids (steroid medications).

This trial tests if an ondansetron lozenge (a tablet you dissolve in your mouth) works as well as ondansetron given through a vein to prevent shivering during cesarean section. Shivering is a common side effect of spinal anesthesia.
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 whether giving acetaminophen (Tylenol) through an IV (a vein) instead of by mouth helps reduce pain and fussiness after tonsil and adenoid removal in children age 7 and under. The goal is to find better ways to keep children comfortable during recovery.
This study tests if giving magnesium sulfate or lidocaine through a vein during tonsillectomy surgery can prevent a throat muscle spasm (laryngospasm) and reduce pain medicine needs. It is for children in good general health having their tonsils removed.
This study tests two medicines, etomidate and esketamine, to see which one works better for managing pain after tonsil removal in children. It aims to help children recover more comfortably.
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.
