Active clinical trials for "Nausea"

This study will compare two different drug regimens (oral dronabinol versus intravenous ondanseteron) for the prevention of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV).

The purpose of this study is ad 1) to measure the depth of hypnosis as assessed by BIS and cAAI during an average general anesthesia with xenon or sevoflurane and to establish a reliable monitoring system for measuring and documenting the actual depth of hypnosis for the volatile anesthetics investigated. Ad 2) the question is to be answered whether 4 mg dexamethasone i.v. is an effective prophylactic treatment against postoperative nausea and vomiting in case of xenon or sevoflurane anesthesia. Ad 3) it serves to gain evidence about the (non-)effectiveness and kinetics of ondansetron as antiemetic remedy after xenon or sevoflurane anesthesia.

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of atropine in preventing nausea and vomiting after spinal anesthesia with local anesthetic and morphine for elective Caesarean section. Patients enrolling in the study will be assigned to one of three groups. One will receive a small dose of intrathecal atropine; another will receive small-dose intravenous atropine; the third group will receive placebo.

The purpose of this trial is to determinate the security, tolerability and efficacy of aprepitant plus palonosetron versus granisetron in the prevention of nausea and emesis induced by chemotherapy in patients treated with haematopoietic progenitors transplant.

This study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of different dosages and administration schedules of an investigational agent administered over 3 days when added to standard therapy used in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. Subjects will be asked to complete daily diaries while on study medication. In addition subjects will be required to return to the investigational site several times during the course of the study for follow up safety assessments which may include blood samples for hematology and chemistry evaluations as well as physical exams. A final assessment will be preformed on study Day 20-30 at which time the subject will complete the study.

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most common and distressing postoperative complications. PONV risk assessment is recommanded to determine the number of medications or strategies for prophylaxis. Many well-known risk factors have been determined. However, no study has explored liver surgery-specific risk factors. This study aims to identify whether there was an association between portal vein occlusion and PONV among patients after liver surgery. Patients diagnosed with liver cancer and undergoing hepatectomy will be prospectively consecutively recruited. All enrolled patients receive PONV assessments within the first 24 postoperative hours. Logistic regression models will be used to investigate the effects of portal vein occlusion and the other variables on the occurrence of PONV in both univariate and multivariate analyses

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common problem and may lead to catastrophic complications, especially in neurosurgical cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dexamethasone and ondansetron for preventing PONV in patients who underwent microvascular decompression surgery (MVD).

Single center, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial in patients who present to the emergency department (ED) with a chief complaint of nausea or vomiting. A total of 300 patients age 18-55 presenting to the emergency department with chief complaint of nausea or vomiting will be enrolled from February 2021 - February 2022. Patients will be randomized and symptom levels will be recorded at 30, 60, 90, minutes. Follow-up will be performed by telephone at 24 hours.

Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils from plants for the improvement of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Healthcare providers play an important role in improving the care of patients with nausea. Aromatherapy is a complementary therapy that may help with post-operative nausea in the adult post-operative bariatric patient population. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of aromatherapy intervention on nausea levels with post-operative bariatric patients once they are on the surgical unit.

The purpose of this study is to determine if aromatherapy (essential oil) is effective at reducing up-set stomach and vomiting after surgery and in reducing the need for up-set stomach medications
