Active clinical trials for "Nausea"

Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is an important therapy for patients with multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and Hodgkin's lymphoma. It has been shown to improve progression free survival and overall survival. However, it is a challenging treatment process both physically and psychologically. It is a procedure with many side effects that can be uncomfortable, painful, and at times, difficult to endure. Complementary therapies, such as music therapy, have potential to be an important adjunct in palliation of symptoms in patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Many patients receiving opioid based analgesia after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery experience postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) despite prophylaxis and treatment with HT3 receptor antagonists. Although a high dose of ramosetron can cause adverse effects such as headache or dizziness, the minimal effective dose of ramosetron in a high-risk patients is unknown. The aim of this study is to determine the effective dose of ramosetron for prophylaxis of PONV in a high-risk patients receiving intravenous opioid-based patient-controlled analgesia after gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

216 Chemotherapy-naïve, female breast cancer patients about to begin chemotherapy and who expect to have nausea, will be entered. Participants will be randomized to one of three study arms: Arm 1: control; Arm 2: Expectancy-neutral handout + Expectancy-neutral MP3+ acupressure bands; Arm 3: Expectancy-enhancing handout + Expectancy-enhancing MP3 + acupressure bands. Hypothesis: Acupressure bands provided with the relaxation MP3 will be effective in controlling chemotherapy-induced nausea

The purpose of this study is to explore the dose response of SyB D-0701 for preventing nausea and emesis associated with radiotherapy (fractionated/localized irradiation) in cancer patients scheduled to receive radiotherapy (fractionated/localized irradiation) alone.

This randomized clinical trial studies ABH (lorazepam, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, and haloperidol) gel in patients with nausea. ABH gel, when absorbed into the skin, may be an effective treatment for nausea and vomiting. The general purpose of this research study is to improve the treatment of nausea and vomiting.

The purpose of this phase 2 study is to assess the efficacy and patient satisfaction of oral rolapitant plus ondansetron vs. oral ondansetron monotherapy in malignant glioma (MG) patients receiving standard of care radiation (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ) therapy. This is a randomized phase 2 trial of rolapitant plus ondansetron vs. ondansetron monotherapy for the prevention of chemo-radiation induced nausea and vomiting in primary MG subjects receiving RT and concomitant multi-dose TMZ.

This study is carried out to evaluate and compare the efficiency of acupressure practice applied with pressure or sea-band and their placebo on managing the acute nausea-vomiting symptoms developing due to chemotherapy in pediatric oncology patients.

As PONV is an unpleasant experience that badly affects the patients' quality of life after surgery and the anti-emetic effects of propofol have been seldomly studied in Pakistan, this study aims at investigation of the beneficial effects of propofol in reducing the occurrence of PONV.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Rotavin-M1 produced by the Center for Research and Production of Vaccines and Biologicals (POLYVAC) in infants in Vietnam. In addition, we evaluate different dosages and schedules to determine the best regimen to test in a clinical trial.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of intraoperative P6 acupuncture plus standard therapy on postoperative nausea and vomiting in pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy. 200 children will be randomly assigned to either the treatment or the control group. Treatment Group: Standard anti-emetic therapy plus bilateral P6 acupuncture after the induction of anesthesia Control Group: Standard anti-emetic therapy only This study will monitor nausea, retching, and vomiting events both directly after the surgery as well as the next day via a follow-up phone call to the parents of the study participant.
