Brain wave monitor may cut opioid use in Kids' tonsil surgery
NCT ID NCT07577154
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a special brain-wave monitor (Conox) during children's tonsil and adenoid surgery can lower the amount of strong painkillers needed and improve recovery. About 128 children aged 3 to 12 will be randomly assigned to either standard monitoring or Conox-guided anesthesia. The goal is to see if this approach reduces opioid use and leads to faster, smoother recovery.
