Patient satisfaction and pain score using a visual anagogic scale (VAS)
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| NaCl 0,9% | Placebo comparator | patients receive 5ml of NaCl 0,9% at the level of the tonsils lodge Receives: Drug: levobupivacaine |
| Xylocaine 2% | Active comparator | patients receive 5ml of Xylocaïne 2% at the level of the tonsils lodge Receives: Drug: levobupivacaine |
| Levobupivacaine 0,5% | Active comparator | patients receive 5ml of Levobupivacaine 0,5% at the level of the tonsils lodge Receives: Drug: levobupivacaine |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
