Post-surgery care after tonsil removal
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares different ways of caring for people after tonsil removal surgery (tonsillectomy). It aims to find which approach helps reduce pain and speed up recovery, so it may help you or your child heal more comfortably.

This study tests two medicines, magnesium sulfate and lidocaine, given through an IV before or during surgery, to see which is better at preventing throat spasms and reducing the need for pain medicine after tonsil removal in children.
This study looks at how people recover after having their tonsils removed. If you have frequent or ongoing tonsillitis and are planning surgery, the doctors will track your recovery to understand what to expect.
This study looks at whether teaching parents about diet (what to eat after surgery) improves recovery after a child's tonsil and adenoid removal. It may help reduce complications and make recovery smoother.
This study looks at whether the length of time patients fast (don't eat or drink) before tonsil removal surgery affects how much pain they experience afterward. Researchers hope to find the best fasting approach to reduce post-surgery discomfort.
This study tests if a sprayed form of the medicine tranexamic acid (which helps blood clot) can stop bleeding after tonsillectomy in children. It is for children ages 2 to 17 who come to the emergency room with bleeding that starts more than a day after surgery.
This study looks at whether children who use a lot of screens (like tablets, phones, or TV) feel more or less pain after tonsil surgery. It could help parents understand how media use affects recovery.
