This study tested a new device that uses high-voltage electric pulses to shrink enlarged tonsils without cutting. Twenty-four adults with grade 2 or higher tonsil hypertrophy received the treatment. The goal was to reduce tonsil size and pain, with results measured at 3 months.

This study tested whether giving children montelukast before and after tonsillectomy reduces their pain and need for strong painkillers. 116 kids aged 3-8 took part, receiving either montelukast or a placebo. Researchers measured pain scores and how often families contacted docto…

This study looked at whether giving a low dose of a muscle relaxant (rocuronium) during bronchoscopy—a procedure where a tube is inserted into the lungs—could reduce complications like throat spasms and coughing. 153 adults having elective bronchoscopy were split into two groups:…

This study tested four different anesthesia drugs in 100 children aged 3-10 having tonsil surgery. The goal was to see which drug best prevents confusion and restlessness after waking up. Researchers measured pain, agitation, and recovery quality in the recovery room.

This study tested a steroid nasal spray (mometasone furoate) in 130 children aged 3-12 who snore and have sleep-disordered breathing. The goal was to see if the spray could relieve symptoms enough to avoid surgery to remove tonsils or adenoids. Children used the spray daily for 6…
