Active clinical trials for "Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting"

Double-blind, randomised, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, adaptive, seamless, dose-selecting study to compare the efficacy of APD421 to placebo as treatment of established PONV, in patients who have not had prior PONV prophylaxis.

This study aims to prove that at a dose of 1 mg Haloperidol possesses a high success rate in controlling established postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in the first 24 hours following administration similar to the standard of care ondansetron 4 mg.

This 5-part study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of two formulations of MK-0517 (with and without polysorbate 80) and aprepitant in healthy adults. Parts I to IV of this study will examine different doses of MK-0517 as well as two different formulations of MK-0517 (with and without polysorbate 80). Part V of the study will compare single doses of intravenous non-PS80 MK-0517 to oral 125-mg capsule of aprepitant. The primary hypothesis for Part V of the study is that a single intravenous dose of 100-mg or 115-mg MK-0517 is area under the plasma-time curve (AUC) equivalent to that of the 125-mg oral aprepitant capsule in young healthy participants.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Bisacodyl, 5 mg usage decreases the incidence of nausea and abdominal pain after surgery, and also decreases the number of hospitalization days.

The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of nausea, vomiting, need for rescue medication, prolonged PACU time, and unplanned hospital admission in patients with high risk for post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) treated with oral aprepitant with or without transdermal scopolamine preoperatively.

Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is not only unpleasant for patients but also can delay hospital discharge and increase cost of stay. In some cases, when severe vomiting occurs, pain scores seem to be increased. The overall incidence of PONV is 30% and increases to 79% in patients at high risk for this post-operative outcome. The NUSS procedure is considered to be a procedure with a high risk for the outcome of nausea and vomiting.

In this prospective, randomised, placebo-controlled study, the researchers determined whether 0.625 mg or 2.5 mg of IV droperidol given 30 min before emergence from general anaesthesia reduces the incidence of immediate and delayed post operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in thyroid surgical female population. Two hundred and forty six female patients receiving general anaesthesia for thyroid surgery received either droperidol 0.625 mg or droperidol 2.5 mg or placebo before emergence.

The purpose of this study is to see whether acupuncture may help patients recover from colon cancer surgery.

The specific aim of this study is to determine the incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in the pediatric population undergoing outpatient middle ear surgery.

The Researchers overall goal is to evaluate the benefit and utility of preemptive genotypic data to guide post-operative nausea and vomiting treatment in the bariatric surgical population. The hypothesis is that using genotypic variation in CYP2D6 to select the appropriate 5HT3 serotonin receptor antagonist to treat PONV will decrease rates of PONV in the bariatric surgical population.
