First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether gargling with ketamine before tonsil surgery can reduce pain in children afterward. 420 kids aged 4-12 either gargled ketamine or a placebo before anesthesia. Researchers measured pain levels, bleeding, and need for extra pain medicine in the first 24 hours. The goal was to find a safer, opioid-sparing way to manage post-surgery pain.
