The effect of chewing gum on postoperative pain in children undergoing tonsillectomy
Aims
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of chewing gum on postoperative pain in pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy.
Material and methods
This study was conducted as a prospective, randomized controlled single-blind interventional study. Patients were randomized into two groups: control group which received a standard postoperative protocol and the chewing gum group which received the same postoperative protocol. Pain was evaluated by the Wong Baker scale.
Results
A total of 75 patients participated in the study, with 40 in the control group and 35 in the chewing gum group. The children's mean age and gender distribution were similar across the groups. According to the independent t-test results, there was a significant difference in pain levels between the chewing gum and control groups on all days. The pain levels in the chewing gum group were lower compared to the control group. Analgesic use was also lower in the gum group on all days (p < 0.05). Generalized linear mixed model analysis confirmed a significant independent effect of chewing gum on pain scores (p < 0.001), though the effect did not vary over time.
Conclusion
In conclusion, chewing gum may serve as a non-pharmacological method for postoperative pain management. In clinical practice, chewing gum could be a simple, low-cost, and easy-to-implement intervention.
