Active clinical trials for "Nausea"

Pilot study completed - power calculation performed. Now formal double blind randomized study comparing active with placebo wristbands for nausea in palliative care patients to be carried out.

The primary objectives of this study are: To assess the preferences of cancer patients scheduled to receive chemoradiation and caregiver controls for side-effects of chemoradiation. To compare preferences of cancer patients to those of healthy individuals. To compare how patients' preferences for side-effects of chemoradiation change over time. To longitudinally assess the quality of life of cancer patients scheduled to receive chemoradiation. To determine the impact of nausea and vomiting associated with chemoradiation on patients' quality of life and evaluate potential change throughout the duration of chemoradiation treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine vitamin B6 concentration and whether vitamin B6 is effective in nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.

The purpose of this study is to clarify whether distal-proximal point association is more effective than partial match point association by electro-acupuncture in the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting .

Nausea and vomiting are frequently occurring problems in the palliative phase of patients with cancer. Between 20-50% of them regularly suffer from nausea, retching or vomiting. Often the cause of nausea and vomiting is multifactorial and symptomatic treatment is necessary. Potential drugs for symptomatic anti-nausea therapy are metoclopramide, serotonin antagonists, the combination of both and dexamethasone as rescue medication in case of failure. There is no data that depicts which strategy is the best. This study will be conducted to unravel which treatment algorithm is most successful.

To determine the ability of electroacupuncture on PC6 versus sham acupuncture in reducing incidence of intraoperative and postoperative nausea vomiting in parturients who underwent Caesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common and continue to be persistent problems following general anesthesia. Intranasal lidocaine has been used for the treatment of migraine. The theoretical basis for this effect of intranasal lidocaine on migraine relief is reported to be due to its action on the sodium receptors within the sphenopalatine ganglion. Although there is no reported association between PONV and migraines, injecting lidocaine within the sphenopalatine ganglion has proven to be effective in reducing PONV in endoscopic sinus surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of intranasal 2% lidocaine in preventing PONV.

To compare the efficacy and safety of megestrol acetate dispersible tablets combined with 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and dexamethasone triple antiemetic regimen and 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and dexamethasone combined antiemetic regimen in the control of CINV induced by hyperemetic chemotherapy.

This study is looking at whether the addition of Aprepitant (Emend), an antiemetic, will provide added efficacy if added to 2 drugs that are already used as a standard of care for post-operative nausea and vomiting and post-discharge nausea and vomiting.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn more about nausea and vomiting caused by cancer treatment. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at blood samples from patients with cancer who were treated on a clinical trial to control nausea and vomiting during donor stem cell transplant.
