Summary
This study tested whether a nerve block in the cheek can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers in children after tonsil and adenoid removal. About 114 children aged 6 months to 18 years took part. Researchers added a medicine called dexmedetomidine to the block to see if it makes pain relief last longer.
