EEG-guided anesthesia for better recovery after tonsillectomy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

This trial tests a special brain-monitoring device (called Conox) during anesthesia for children having their tonsils and adenoids removed. The goal is to help doctors give the right amount of anesthetic medicine by watching your child's brain activity in real time.
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 two medicines, propofol and lidocaine, to see which one helps children wake up more calmly after tonsillectomy surgery. It may help reduce agitation and make recovery smoother.
This study tests whether using special brain-monitoring devices during anesthesia can help reduce confusion and agitation that sometimes happens after surgery in children ages 1–6. The goal is to improve recovery by helping doctors manage anesthesia more precisely.
This trial tests if using a brain monitor during anesthesia can help lessen agitation in children after surgery. If your child is 6-12, generally healthy, and having a non-emergency surgery, this might be relevant.
This trial tests whether giving two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) through the nose can help children ages 3-7 have less pain after their tonsil or adenoid surgery. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain without using strong drugs.
