Could a simple painkiller calm kids after surgery?
NCT ID NCT07576985
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving IV Tylenol during surgery helps children aged 7 or younger feel less pain and agitation after having their tonsils or adenoids removed. Researchers will compare kids at two hospitals—one that uses IV Tylenol and one that doesn't—using standard pain and agitation scales. The goal is to see if this common medicine improves recovery for young patients.
