Active clinical trials for "Nausea"

The goal of this observational study is to learn more about the relation between anxiety (assessed by GAD-7 questionnaire) and the nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (objectively measured by PUQE score). Participants will answer 2 questionnaires: (GAD-7) for anxiety; and (PUQE score) for nausea and vomiting.

Nausea and vomitting related to drugs and anesthetic methods are among the important postoperative problems. Nausea and vomitting causing illlness feeling of patient are frequent after surgical interventions, cause increased dissatisfaction of the patient and prolonged discharge period. In this study it was aimed to evaluate the effect of peppermint oil inhalation on postoperative nausea and vomitting. Purpose and Type of Research The randomized controlled study will be performed on patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which is the most commonly performed surgical procedure, in a general surgery clinic of a training and research hospital.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a technology-based intervention for managing nausea and vomiting in older adults with cancer. Participants will be randomized to either an intervention or control group. Outcomes such as symptom severity, quality of life, and resource use will be examined.

This study will explore the use of Cereset Research for symptoms associated with refractory chronic nausea in patients with gastroparesis (GP) in a randomized, clinical trial.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of self acupressure and acupressure applied by therapists on pain, nausea-vomiting, and mental well-being in oncology patients. For this purpose, 93 individuals with stage 1-stage 3 cancer will be included in the study. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Is acupressure effective on pain, nausea-vomiting and mental well-being in oncology patients? Is there a difference in the effectiveness of self-acupressure and acupressure applied by therapist on pain, nausea-vomiting and mental well-being? The participants will be included in the study as three groups, namely the self-acupressure group, the acupressure group applied by the therapist, and the control group. Self-acupressure participants will self-administer acupressure. In the acupressure group, which will be applied by the therapist, acupressure will be applied to the participants by researchers who have acupressure certificate. In the control group, acupressure etc. No additional application will be made. Visual analog scale, nausea-vomiting and retching index, and mental well-being scales will be applied to all groups at the beginning of the study and three days after the study.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a single dose of IV acetaminophen can improve post-operative pain, nausea, and vomiting in the outpatient setting. Patient satisfaction, time to readiness of discharge, and the amount of opiates post operatively will also be measured.

This is a Phase IV, open-label, sequential treatment study in patients who are receiving standard chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, or colorectal cancer. (See Section 4.2.1 for eligible treatment regimens.) The study will take place during the first 2 cycles of chemotherapy. Phase 1 of study: Prior to the first dose of chemotherapy, patients will be instructed on how to complete their patient diary, which will include a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for nausea and a VAS for pain. In addition, the diary will include a section to list their current pain medications (see Sample Patient Diary in Appendix I). After being instructed, patients will complete the VAS for nausea and for pain, as well as listing their current pain medications. Patients will then receive chemotherapy on Day 1 of Cycle 1 in combination with the pre-defined standard serotonin antagonist/corticosteroid regimen. Beginning on Day 2, the diary will be completed for 5 consecutive days (Days 2-6). Each day, patients will complete a diary entry pertaining to the preceding 24 hours. The entry will include the number and time of any emetic episodes, any antiemetic rescue medications used, VAS for nausea, and side effects of treatment. On the last day of the diary (Day 6), the entry will include the above daily parameters but will also include a VAS for pain. In addition, the patient will complete a diary entry pertaining to the 5-day study period that will include pain medications used. Patients will also complete the Functional Living Index - Cancer (FLIC) questionnaire (see Sample Function Living Index - Cancer questionnaire in Appendix II). Patients who either have at least one vomiting episode or at least one report of significant nausea (VAS > 25 mm) during the first 5-day study period will be eligible for the second phase of the study. Phase 2 of the study: Patients in the second phase will receive a second cycle of the same chemotherapy. The antiemetic regimen for the second cycle will be the same serotonin antagonist/corticosteroid regimen as they received in Cycle 1, with the addition of Cesamet. For Cycle 2 of treatment, patients will receive Cesamet 1 mg the night before chemotherapy is to be administered. On the day of chemotherapy (Day 1 of Cycle 2), Cesamet 2 mg will be given 1 to 3 hours before the chemotherapy is administered, in addition to the same serotonin antagonist/corticosteroid regimen as they received in Cycle 1. Patients will receive an additional dose of Cesamet 2 mg the evening of Day 1. Patients will receive Cesamet 2 mg BID on Days 2-5. Patients will complete the same 5-day diary and FLIC questionnaire as they did in Cycle 1. Beneficial effects of Cesamet will be estimated by comparing the results of the second cycle to the results of the first cycle. Patients will be evaluated for the first 2 cycles of chemotherapy only.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of ondansetron, metoclopramide, and promethazine for the treatment of nausea in the adult emergency department population. We hypothesize that a single intravenous dose of ondansetron is more effective in reducing nausea than a single IV dose of metoclopramide, promethazine or normal saline placebo in undifferentiated adult emergency department patients.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Haldol (haloperidol) and olanzapine in the control of chronic nausea with advanced cancer patients who have failed first line antiemetic therapy.

This study will look at a drug called esomeprazole, the newest PPI, as a way to further reduce the amount of nausea and vomiting seen in breast cancer patients receiving adriamycin or epirubicin chemotherapy. Esomeprazole may help protect the gut lining from the stomach acid and thus lessen the nausea and vomiting. If patients have less stomach sickness, they may be able to enjoy their daily routines much more while they are getting chemotherapy.
