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 giving children either oral melatonin or a nebulized sedative (dexmedetomidine) before surgery can reduce confusion and restlessness (emergence agitation) when they wake up from anesthesia. It may help children recover more calmly after adenotonsillectomy.
This study uses a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the ear (through the vagus nerve) before surgery. The goal is to see if it helps children wake up more calmly and reduces confusion or agitation after a tonsil or adenoid removal.
This study looks at whether giving a sedative (midazolam) earlier or later before surgery affects stress and recovery in children having their tonsils and/or adenoids removed. It may help reduce anxiety and improve recovery after surgery.
This study tests whether propofol or lidocaine is better at helping children wake up calmly after tonsillectomy surgery. It aims to reduce agitation or confusion when coming out of anesthesia.
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.
