Active clinical trials for "Nausea"

This study evaluates the efficacy of auricular percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulator in children, adolescents and young adults with chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting.

Randomized trial which will aim to evaluate whether prophylactic use of ondansetron and ibuprofen will decrease side effects associated with medical abortion and increase patient satisfaction.

The primary objective of this proposal is to conduct an early Phase 2 clinical trial to determine the acceptability, dosing, tolerability and safety of mirtazapine for severe nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (sNVP) that is not adequately responsive to current standard treatments. This plan mirrors clinical practice since commonly prescribed antiemetic/ antinauseant drugs will be tested for efficacy before treating with mirtazapine.

The primary objective of this phase 2 randomized controlled trial is to determine whether the pre-operative administration of olanzapine (5 mg PO) improves quality of recovery (assessed by the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) survey) on postoperative day 1 in patients having ambulatory surgery with general anesthesia. The secondary objectives of this study are to determine whether there are differences in quality of recovery on postoperative day 2, presence of post-discharge nausea, presence of severe post-discharge nausea, recovery room length of stay and opioid consumption in patients who receive the study drug versus placebo.

The present trial is to study the effect of low dose remimazolam on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients at risks of PONV (women, postoperative use of opioid, nonsmokers) undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The purpose of the proposed study is to provide a clinical approach to chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) prophylaxis in cycle 2 of moderately emetogenic chemotherapy or highly emetogenic chemotherapy for patients who developed breakthrough CINV after cycle 1 based on the available data in the literature as well as the recommendations provided by established guidelines

Despite pharmaceutical innovations, chemotherapy induced nausea is frequent and largely participating to alter our patients quality of life. Non invasive vagal stimulation is approved in other health issues, for example in headache or gastroparesis, with a reported benefit on nausea. This study aims to analyse if a non invasive vagal stimulation could better prevent chemotherapy induced nausea, in addition to standard treatment, in breast cancer patients treated with cyclophosphamide and anthracycline.

Patients undergoing either an autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and receiving preparative chemotherapy experience a considerable amount of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). Current strategies at reducing CINV in this patient population are suboptimal due to lack of efficacy and supportive evidence, potential for increased adverse events, and drug-drug and drug-disease contraindications.

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of a nurse-led standardized intervention on chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) what's the best practice to enhance the management of CINV; (2) how's the effect of the nurse-led standardized intervention on CINV in the patients treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Participants in the intervention group will receive evidence-based, nurse-led standardized management of CINV, including nurse-led risk assessment, education on prevention and control of CINV, antiemetics following guidelines, dietary strategies, relaxation therapy, and follow up. Participants in the control group will receive routine care of CINV. The incidence and occurrence degree of CINV and its influence on patients' quality of life will be compared between the two groups.

The overall goal of this study is to explore the effectiveness of using acupuncture versus aromatherapy, in conjunction with standard of care anti-emetics, to decrease chemotherapy induced nausea, vomiting, and anxiety in breast cancer patients undergoing Adriamycin and Cytoxan. This study also aims to determine if aromatherapy and anti-emetics is more effective than acupuncture and anti-emetics in treating nausea, vomiting, and anxiety in patients receiving Adriamycin and Cytoxan and if acupuncture and anti-emetics is more effective than aromatherapy and anti-emetics in treating nausea, vomiting, and anxiety in patients receiving Adriamycin and Cytoxan.
