First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study compares two ways to manage pain in children aged 3-17 having tonsil surgery. One uses standard opioids, the other uses a non-opioid drug combo. The goal is to see if the opioid-free approach controls pain just as well while reducing side effects like nausea and agitation. About 58 children will take part at Boston Children's Hospital.
