Study Summary

This trial looks at if drinking more before tonsillectomy can reduce post-op pain, nausea and opioid use. Participants will drink varying amounts and record their symptoms post-surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who are having their tonsils removed at specific centers and don't have chronic diseases like heart failure or diabetes. It's not for those allergic to pain meds, pregnant, on chronic pain meds, with a history of nausea from anesthesia, under 18, decisionally impaired, or with certain stomach issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if drinking more water and clear liquids before surgery can reduce throat pain, nausea, vomiting and the need for opioid painkillers after an adult tonsillectomy. Participants will be split into groups based on how much they drink before surgery and will track their symptoms for a week.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves increased fluid intake rather than medication changes or new drugs, there aren't direct side effects being studied. However, participants may experience discomfort from consuming large amounts of liquid.
