Active clinical trials for "Nausea"

To compare between intrathecal atropine versus preoperative administration of IV ondansetron in decreasing incidence of post operative nausea and vomiting related to intrathecal opioids in post operative period in perineal surgery as regard : efficacy and side effects .

Transdermal granisetron has been shown to as effective as oral/ intravenous granisetron when administered with or without dexamethasone. However, it has not been evaluated specifically against the delayed response of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in comparison with palonosetron, as the complete response for the delayed phase was not reported in the comparative study by Seol et al (Support Care Cancer 2016;24:945-952). Thus, transdermal granisetron needs to be compared with palonosetron as part of dual and triple therapy in the delayed phase of CINV. This investigator-initiated study aims to compare the efficacy of granisetron transdermal patch and palonosetron combined with NK-1 receptor antagonist and dexamethasone in the prevention of delayed CINV in Chinese breast cancer patients who received high emetic or moderate emetic chemotherapy.

Post-operative nausea and vomiting are critical problems that occur commonly after the administration of general anesthesia, which can lead to serious health complications such as hemorrhage, electrolyte imbalance and ultimate shock. To prevent these complications, antiemetic drugs are often administered, but they can cause side effects as well as increased healthcare costs. As concerns regarding the side effects of antiemetic drugs have grown, there has been an increased interest in using non-pharmacologic interventions, such as aromatherapy, as an alternative approach to preventing post-operative nausea and vomiting. It involves the therapeutic use of essential oils, and lavender essential oil, in particular, is commonly used for various digestive problems including nausea, and vomiting. Therefore, a key question for a health care professional is how to prevent post-operative nausea and vomiting in best possible manner? To address this question, a study will be conducted in Services hospital Lahore, aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of lavender essential oil aromatherapy in reducing post-operative nausea and vomiting among patients admitted for laparotomy under general anesthesia. This study will be a Randomized control trial with the study population consisting of admitted patients after laparotomy under general anesthesia. The sample size will be 70, who will be divided into two groups, each consisting of 35 participants. A convenience sampling technique will be employed for the recruitment of participants. After that, the participants will be randomized into control and intervention groups by computer-generated table numbers in accordance with the inclusion criteria that is, 18-65 age, both genders, laparotomy under general anesthesia, clinically stable, and susceptive to post-op nausea and vomiting within 24hrs following the surgery. whereas, the patients with respiratory diseases, allergies, infections, reversal laparotomy within short duration, having any kind of addiction, those who move to the intensive care unit, those with a history of motion sickness, history of pre-op nausea and vomiting and those who start oral or NG feed before 24hrs will not be part of this study. The data will be analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of thalidomide on improving the quality of life for metastatic pancreatic cancer patients receiving gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy.

This study, it is aimed to determine the effect of Apfel risk score and fasting times on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).

This study was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, parallel controlled clinical trial. The children who met the inclusion criteria and were treated with medium and high emetic chemotherapy drugs were randomly included in the experimental group (forsapitan group) and the control group (placebo group) in the ratio of 1 ∶ 1. The children in the experimental group were infused with fosapitan, dexamethasone and granisetron before chemotherapy, and then continued to be infused with granisetron and dexamethasone until 48 hours after the end of chemotherapy. The antiemetic regimen of children in the control group was placebo instead of fosapitan, and the others were the same as those in the experimental group. In this study, CNNC antiemetic scale and pediatric scale proposed by Dupuis were used to evaluate the vomiting data. The primary end point was the proportion of children who achieved complete remission (CR) in the delayed period (within 24-120 hours after the start of chemotherapy); The secondary end points were the CR rate in the acute phase (within 24 hours after the first chemotherapy administration) and the overall phase. The antiemetic efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups were observed and analyzed.

The researchers propose to study how functional nausea in adolescents may be characterized noninvasively by the use of multichannel electrogastrogram (EGG) and magnetogastrogram (MGG) recordings.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if light electrical stimulation to the wrist area during surgery is feasible in women having breast surgery.

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was defined by the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ASPAN) as nausea and/or vomiting in the first 24 hours after surgery and is among the most common complications after pain in patients undergoing surgery. PONV is divided into three as early, late, and delayed. Nausea-vomiting developing within 2-6 hours after surgery is classified as early, nausea-vomiting developing within 6-24 hours after surgery is classified as delayed, and nausea and/or vomiting developing within the first 24 hours after surgery are classified as delayed PONV. PONV increases the length of stay in the recovery room, delays starting oral intake, causes fluid and electrolyte imbalance, and causes pain, dehydration, delayed wound healing, decreased patient comfort, prolonged hospitalization, and increased cost. Therefore, the prevention and management of nausea and vomiting in the perioperative period in surgical patients are very important.

Intraoperative Hypothermia is a common problem, our object will be to evaluate the efficacy of forced air warmer (Model # eq-5000) for maintaining core body temperature in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries and its effect on postoperative nausea, vomiting and shivering.
