AI-Generated Mother's Voice Story During Kids' Tonsil Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study explores if listening to a story told in a mother's voice—created by artificial intelligence (AI)—can help children feel calmer before and after surgery to remove their tonsils or adenoids. The voice will be played through headphones while the child is under anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between the ages of 3 and 12.
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove your tonsils or adenoids (adenotonsillectomy) under general anesthesia.
- You are generally healthy or have only a mild health issue (like well-controlled asthma).
- You can hear normally (the trial involves listening to a story).
- You do NOT take medicines for anxiety, seizures, or behavior control (sedatives, antipsychotics, anticonvulsants).
- A parent or legal guardian must agree to the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests when to give children a calming medicine (midazolam) before surgery to remove their tonsils or adenoids. Researchers want to see if the timing affects how stressed the child is, their body's stress hormone levels, and how quickly they recover after surgery.
This study looks at how children feel about going through anesthesia (medicine to make them sleep during surgery). It aims to help make the experience better for kids.
This study tests whether playing personalized music during and after specific surgeries can reduce “emergence agitation,” a period of distress or confusion as a patient wakes up from anesthesia. It may help children feel calmer by using music they connect with.
This study tests whether playing calming music and reducing operating room noise during surgery helps children need less anesthesia and pain medication. Researchers hope this simple change might make surgery safer and recovery easier for kids.
This study tests whether playing a mother's voice can help reduce pain and improve comfort in young children (ages 1-3) who are on a breathing tube and sedated in the intensive care unit.
This trial tests whether a video call before surgery works as well as an in-person hospital visit for checking breathing risks in children getting their tonsils or adenoids removed. It may help families avoid extra trips to the hospital.
