Active clinical trials for "Nausea"

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the aromatherapy with lavender, rose or ginger essential oils on nausea, vomiting and postoperative quality of recovery scores in patients with postoperative nausea and vomiting.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fosaprepitant (MK-0517) plus ondansetron versus ondansetron alone for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in pediatric participants scheduled to receive chemotherapeutic agent(s) associated with moderate or high risk of causing emesis (vomiting), or chemotherapy agent(s) not previously tolerated due to vomiting. The primary hypothesis is that a single dose of fosaprepitant in combination with ondansetron provides superior control of CINV compared to ondansetron alone as measured by the percentage of participants with a Complete Response (no vomiting, no retching, and no use of rescue medications) in the delayed phase (>24 to 120 hours) following initiation of emetogneic chemotherapy in Cycle 1.

This is an expertise-based randomized controlled trial. The hypothesis of this study is that the differences in expertise of acupuncturist may impact clinical effect. In this study, patients will be randomized to 4 group, receiving the treatment from senior acupuncturist, junior acupuncturist, junior acupuncturist by only acupuncture Neiguan(P6), or not receive the acupuncture. All patients receive the basic cisplatin chemotherapy. The duration of treatment is from the first day receiving cisplatin until two days after cisplatin on each group. NCI and Rhode scale will be used to measure the control of nausea and vomiting.

We would like to know the prophylactic anti-emetic effect of ramosetron compare to ondansetron in patient undergone total knee arthroplasty with spinal anesthesia and intrathecal morphine .

The management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) has evolved in recent years and became less frequent. CINV include early (occurring within 24 hours of chemotherapy administration) and delayed (occurring within 4 days after chemotherapy) nausea and vomiting. Preventive treatment, such as Glucocorticoids, 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists and neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor antagonists, are administered according to the classification in 4 grades of expected CINV Very low: <10% occurrence of CINV; Low: 10 to 30% occurrence of CINV; Average: 30 to 90% occurrence of CINV; High: > 90% occurrence of CINV. These treatments have been the subject of recommendations. Despite these available treatments, some patients still complain of vomiting, or more frequently nausea and loss of appetite. Meanwhile, Chinese acupuncture has proven effective on the prevention of CINV as complementary treatment, mainly in the acute phase and to a lesser extent in the delayed phase. The most common points are Pericardium 6 (wrist) treated with conventional acupuncture needles, electro-acupuncture or acupressure. Auriculotherapy (ear acupuncture) has proven effective on nausea of pregnancy and postoperative nausea, but, to our knowledge, there are no studies published on the effect of auriculotherapy on CINV. These complementary treatments have virtually no side effects. In our institution, a simple treatment of acupuncture (2 points Pericardium 6 treated) and auriculotherapy (2 auricular point treated) is regularly use in patients who present CINV despite preventive treatment and most of them are relieved. The investigators propose a clinical trial in this population to assess symptoms improvement in patients presenting CINV after their first administration of chemotherapy despite adapted preventive treatment. Experimental treatment with semi-permanent needles takes place during administration of the second session of chemotherapy. CINV are evaluated through the (MAT) score that measures the frequency and intensity of nausea and vomiting in the 24 hours following the session and during the 4 days after administration Chemotherapy.

A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Oral CL-H1T in the Treatment of Acute Migraine Pain.

The investigator wish to provide a blend of two essential oils with comparable antiemetic properties; Peppermint essential oil (Mentha x Piperita) and lemon tree essential oil (Citrus Limon). Dry inhalation of these essential oils is safe, but effectiveness has not been determined. Studies on the subject present a questionable methodology. This is why we are proposing this study to measure the effectiveness of this mixture of essential oils on chemo-induced nausea and vomiting. This study is a first step before a possible study to compare the effects of essential oils with those of a placebo.

There some evidence regarding the effect of lidocaine for the prevention of nausea and vomiting in adults.

This is an efficacy and safety study to compare aprepitant with ondansetron for the prevention of nausea and vomiting in the first cycle of moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC) in participants with solid tumors. MECs include a number of commonly used cancer chemotherapeutic drugs including: oxaliplatin-based, irinotecan-based, and carboplatin-based regimens. The primary hypothesis of this study is that the Aprepitant Regimen is superior to the Control (ondansetron) Regimen with respect to the percentage of participants with No Vomiting Overall (in the 120 hours following initiation of MEC) in participants with solid tumors.

Patients diagnosed with malignant glioma who are receiving temozolomide will be accrued in this open label, phase 2, randomized single institution trial of aprepitant in combination with ondansetron versus ondansetron alone for the prevention of acute and delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). Sixty-eight (68) patients will be randomized to each arm of the study.
