Comparing two pain relief methods after tonsil removal in children
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two different pain-relieving treatments for children after tonsil removal: a special solution placed in the throat versus a numbing injection. It aims to find which approach works better to reduce pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 if giving magnesium sulfate or lidocaine through a vein during tonsillectomy surgery can prevent a throat muscle spasm (laryngospasm) and reduce pain medicine needs. It is for children in good general health having their tonsils removed.
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 a numbing injection near a nerve in your nose to see if it can reduce pain and help you recover faster after tonsillectomy. It is a non-drug approach that may offer an alternative to strong pain medicines.
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.
This study tests whether a nerve block (sphenopalatine ganglion block) can reduce pain after a child's tonsillectomy. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the block or a sham procedure, and their pain levels and recovery are monitored.
