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 two medicines, magnesium sulfate and lidocaine, given through an IV before or during surgery, to see which is better at preventing throat spasms and reducing the need for pain medicine after tonsil removal in children.
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 is testing two medications used during anesthesia (etomidate and esketamine) to see if they can reduce pain after tonsillectomy in children. If your child is having this surgery, the trial may offer better pain control during recovery.
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.
