NCT ID NCT03995628
Summary
This study tested whether a single steroid pill given on the third day after a child's tonsillectomy surgery could reduce pain and decrease the need for strong opioid painkillers. It involved 163 children aged 3 to 12 who had their tonsils removed. Researchers compared children who received the steroid pill to those who received a placebo (sugar pill), while all other standard care remained the same.
