Active clinical trials for "Nausea"

A new intravenous medication is being tested for the prevention of the nausea and vomiting that occurs after surgery. This new medication is being compared to another intravenous medication that is already available to patients for this indication.

The first hypothesis of the study is that substituting fentanyl by esmolol and metoprolol during general anesthesia for patients undergoing mastectomy will result in less pain and less narcotic consumption in the recovery room. The investigators will also verify the impact of that substitution on nausea and vomiting, on the time spent in the recovery room and on chronic postsurgical pain (3 and 6 months). Finally, the investigators will see the impact on breast cancer recurrence 5 years after the surgery.

This study is designed to examine the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting during 24 hours after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients receiving preoperative intravenous fluid loading (group F), ondansetron (group O) and receiving neither fluid nor ondansetron or control group (group C).

phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to investigate whether pregabalin can improve the complete control of nausea and vomiting (primary end point)

Morbidly obese patients are at high risk for Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) after surgery and general anesthesia. The results of our observational study indicate that 42.7% of patients require medication to treat PONV in the first 24 hours after bariatric surgery despite our aggressive perioperative approach with triple prophylaxis. Common risk factors for PONV are the use of intraoperative narcotics and anesthetic gases. Preliminary results of multimodal postoperative analgesia in the first 24 hours lead to a reduction of narcotic consumption, desaturations and use of antiemetic medication. Our study hypothesis is that different types of anesthetics reduce PONV further. Patient would be randomly assigned to receive either our current intraoperative management or a narcotic free, total intravenous general anesthetic (TIVA). The investigators hope to improve patients' satisfaction by reducing PONV in the postoperative period.

The study is to compare the postoperative recovery, as determined by postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after preoperative application of single-dose dexamethasone versus saline in patients undergoing partial or total thyroidectomy.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a betterment of the digestive symptomatology by the anti-emetic acupression's bracelets's use associated with hygiene and dietetic advices.

This randomized controlled trial is to investigate if SmtO2-guided management on top of the usual care, compared with the usual care only, during laparoscopic hysterectomy significantly reduces the incidence of PONV.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients at high risk for postoperative nausea and vomiting can benefit from aprepitant, ondansetron and dexamethasone in the perioperative period.

The aim of this study is to investigate if P6 acupressure may reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting in neurosurgical patients undergoing craniotomy.
