Adenoid Removal for Allergic Rhinitis in Children
Treatments studied
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether removing enlarged adenoids (small lymph tissue in the nose/throat) can help children with allergic rhinitis (allergy-caused runny nose, sneezing, and congestion) feel better and reduce their allergy markers. Researchers will track symptom improvement and measure IgE levels (a protein related to allergies) before and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 3–12 years old
- Your child has been diagnosed with allergic rhinitis with typical symptoms like nasal stuffiness, watery nose drainage, and sneezing fits
- Your child has enlarged adenoids and/or tonsils that a doctor says should be surgically removed
- Your child has not taken allergy or steroid medications (pills, sprays, or creams) for at least 3 months before enrollment
- Your child has no history of prior surgery on adenoids, tonsils, or nasal passages
- Your child does not have other serious conditions like cystic fibrosis, nasal polyps, immunodeficiency, or severe asthma that would make surgery unsafe

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 tests if acupuncture on a nerve in the head (sphenopalatine ganglion) can help reduce symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) like sneezing and runny nose.
This Phase 2 study tests a “viral” treatment meant to reprogram the lining of your nose to reduce allergy-like immune responses. It is testing whether this approach is safe and can help people with cat allergy (with or without asthma) or compare against healthy people.
This study tests a surgical procedure that cuts small nerves in the nose to relieve long-lasting, non-allergic nasal symptoms like stuffiness, runny nose, and sneezing. It may be an option for people with idiopathic rhinitis whose symptoms have not improved with other treatments.
This trial tests a more thorough sinus surgery combined with removing lymphoid tissue in the throat to see if it helps people with nasal polyps. Researchers want to know if this approach reduces inflammation and improves symptoms.
This trial tests a device to help children recover better after surgery to remove tonsils or adenoids. It aims to see if the device is safe and effective in reducing pain and speeding up healing.
