Summary

This study tests whether listening to an AI-generated version of their mother's voice telling a story can reduce stress and confusion in children waking up from tonsil surgery. Children aged 3 to 12 will be randomly assigned to hear the AI voice, relaxing instrumental music, or standard care through headphones during the procedure. The goal is to see if the familiar voice helps them recover more calmly and with less medication.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AI-generated maternal voice storytelling delivered through headphones
What this could lead to
If effective, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to help children recover more calmly from surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and the effect may be no better than relaxing music or standard care. Results may not apply to other surgeries or age groups.
