Comparing surgical tools for tonsil and adenoid removal
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares different surgical tools used during tonsil and adenoid removal surgery in children. The goal is to see which tool works best and is safest for this common pediatric surgery.

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 trial tests whether applying a special gel called RADA16 to the surgical site after tonsillectomy (removal of tonsils) can help children heal better and with less pain. It may offer a new way to improve recovery after this common surgery.
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.
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 people who have bleeding more than a day after having their tonsils removed. It compares three common surgical techniques to see if one has a lower risk of this late bleeding, which could help guide safer surgery in the future.
This study compares two different exercises (called oral reeducation) to see which works better for children who still have breathing problems during sleep even after getting their tonsils or adenoids removed. It helps kids breathe easier at night.
