Active clinical trials for "Gastroenteritis"

This project is a randomised trial in order to determine if "gamification" can result in behaviour change for healthcare workers in the residential aged care setting. The app is for Age Care and care workers at the front line who are working to protect those most vulnerable to COVID-19. There are 2 groups in this trial on group will receive current and accurate information from an app. The other group will receives the app with the addition of a gamification competent, this will include rewarding experiences for staff doing safety behaviours and wellbeing behaviours. The purpose of the gamification is to create a calming and reassuring experience that injects positivity and joy where possible during this stressful time.

One of the most common complaints of admission to the emergency room is gastroenteritis. One of the most common complaints in acute gastroenteritis is abdominal pain. The aim of our study is to investigate whether hyoscine butylbromide used within the indication has an effect on abdominal pain due to acute gastroenteritis. The main purpose of our study is to reduce the pain of the patient at 30th and 60th minutes compared to 0th minute.

Most of the trials conducted comparing ondansetron and domperidone have been conducted among children aged below 5 or 6 years of age while no study from Pakistan has compared efficacy of these antiemetic agents among children up to 12 years of age. The findings of present study will give valuable evidence about the effectiveness of these antiemetic agents to prevent vomiting among children suffering with acute gastroenteritis at a resource limited setting of South Punjab, Pakistan.

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness of treatment with Bacillus clausii probiotic strain (Enterogermina) in combination with oral rehydration therapy (ORT) for a period of 5 days, in the duration of acute community-acquired diarrhea in Latin American children. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the clinical safety of Enterogermina in acute diarrhea in children and to demonstrate its effectiveness on stool frequency, stool consistency, and number of vomiting episodes. To evaluate parent's overall global assessment. To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Enterogermina in norovirus acute gastroenteritis (AGE).

Treatment diarrhea with Lactobacillus GG or smectite has proven efficacy. A randomized, double blind, placebo-control trial was performed to assess the effectiveness of both LGG and smectite in management of children with acute gastroenteritis (AGE).

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of probiotic yogurt in acute watery diarrhea in children. The investigators will compare the effect of two different probiotics products.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of nitazoxanide suspension compared to placebo in treating rotavirus disease in pediatric patients less than 6 years of age.

Vomiting in children with acute gastroenteritis is a major factor of failure of oral rehydration therapy. Effective symptomatic treatment of vomiting would lead to an important reduction in the use of Intravenous Fluid Therapy. Available evidence on symptomatic treatment of vomiting shows the efficacy of the most recently registered molecule (ondansetron) but a proper evaluation of antiemetics drugs largely used in clinical practice, such as domperidone, is lacking. The aim of this multicentre, double-blind randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy of ondansetron and domperidone for the symptomatic treatment of vomiting in children with acute gastroenteritis who have failed Oral Rehydration Therapy.

Hyponatremia associated with administration of hypotonic intravenous (IV) fluids may have serious complications. It has recently been suggested that isotonic saline may be a more appropriate choice of maintenance IV fluid. This pilot and feasibility study aims to compare isotonic saline to 0.45% saline in hospitalized children requiring parenteral fluid support in order to: Aim 1: To determine the feasibility of conducting a double-blind, randomized controlled trial comparing these solutions. Aim 2a: To compare the rate of change in serum Na (mmol/L/hr) and the incidence of hyponatremia (Na <136 mmol/L) between patients receiving isotonic and hypotonic intravenous fluids at at least 50% of the traditional maintenance rate for an interval of at least 8 hours. Aim 2b: To compare the incidence of adverse events between the two IV fluid treatment groups.

It is generally recommended that oral rehydration should be used as first-line therapy to treat or prevent dehydration in children with acute gastroenteritis (AGE). Refusal to drink regular Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) interfere with compliance with the recommended treatment. The objective of this study is to compare the tolerance, acceptance, efficacy and safety of a new ORS (Hipp ORS 200 Apple) of improved palatability with regular ORS recommended by ESPGHAN in children with acute gastroenteritis (AGE).
