NCT ID NCT07675278
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two common substances—hydrogen peroxide and adrenaline—for controlling bleeding during tonsillectomy in children and teens aged 5 to 18. Surgeons apply one of the two to the surgical site and measure how quickly bleeding stops and how much blood is lost. The goal is to find which method is more effective and safer for routine use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
hydrogen peroxide and adrenaline (epinephrine)
What this could lead to
If one agent works better, it could become the preferred method for controlling bleeding during tonsillectomy, reducing blood loss and surgery time.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 64 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Both substances have risks, such as tissue irritation or heart effects.
