Active clinical trials for "Vomiting"

Objectives: This study aims to assess the effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of intensive acupuncture treatments combined with standard antiemetic medication as compared with P6 acupoint stimulation combined with standard antiemetic medication or with standard antiemetic medication alone, to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Background: PONV is one of the prevalent discomforts in the early phase of recovery after surgery. Evidence suggests that the stimulation of the P6 acupuncture point can reduce the occurrence of PONV. What remains unclear is whether a higher dose of acupuncture produces more benefits compared with P6 stimulation alone or whether acupuncture combined with standard antiemetic medication yields better outcomes. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of different acupuncture regimen for the prevention of PONV: high-dose acupuncture treatments combined with standard antiemetic medication, P6 acupuncture-point stimulation combined with standard antiemetic medication, or medication alone.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding transdermal preparation of granisetron (Sancuso ®) to the current postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) standard prophylaxis regimen with dexamethasone and ondansetron in patients with the previous history of severe, particularly delayed and/or post-discharge, PONV and undergoing surgical procedure under general anesthesia. The specific aims of the study include: efficacy of the investigated therapy in prevention of PONV up to 120 hours after surgery incidence and seriousness of the observed side effects ability of patients to self-administer preoperatively and maintain the investigated patch during the perioperative period level of satisfaction with the preoperative PONV prophylaxis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fosaprepitant (MK-0517) plus ondansetron versus ondansetron alone for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in pediatric participants scheduled to receive chemotherapeutic agent(s) associated with moderate or high risk of causing emesis (vomiting), or chemotherapy agent(s) not previously tolerated due to vomiting. The primary hypothesis is that a single dose of fosaprepitant in combination with ondansetron provides superior control of CINV compared to ondansetron alone as measured by the percentage of participants with a Complete Response (no vomiting, no retching, and no use of rescue medications) in the delayed phase (>24 to 120 hours) following initiation of emetogneic chemotherapy in Cycle 1.

This is an expertise-based randomized controlled trial. The hypothesis of this study is that the differences in expertise of acupuncturist may impact clinical effect. In this study, patients will be randomized to 4 group, receiving the treatment from senior acupuncturist, junior acupuncturist, junior acupuncturist by only acupuncture Neiguan(P6), or not receive the acupuncture. All patients receive the basic cisplatin chemotherapy. The duration of treatment is from the first day receiving cisplatin until two days after cisplatin on each group. NCI and Rhode scale will be used to measure the control of nausea and vomiting.

We would like to know the prophylactic anti-emetic effect of ramosetron compare to ondansetron in patient undergone total knee arthroplasty with spinal anesthesia and intrathecal morphine .

There are ca 1000 new cases of bladder cancer in Finland/year. The curative therapy for high risk bladder cancer is radical cystectomy. The golden standard is still an open surgery despite development of laparoscopic techniques. Epidural analgesia is considered as most effective for the treatment of postoperative pain. However, there is a need for other effective options, because epidural analgesia has some contraindications and risks for serious complications. Recently quadratus lumborum block has gained popularity in the treatment of postoperative pain after various surgeries in the area from hip to mamilla. It is more beneficial than other peripheral blocks, since it covers also the visceral nerves. Contrary to the need of epidural catether a single shot QLB has reported to last up to 48 hours. Inadequately treated acute postoperative pain is considered as one of the main risk factors for persistent postoperative pain. 44 patients aging 18-85 will be recruited based on a power calculation. The primary outcome measure is the acute postoperative need for rescue analgesics. Secondary outcomes are acute pain (NRS scale), nausea, vomiting, mobilisation and longterm outcomes such as quality of life and persistent pain.

A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Oral CL-H1T in the Treatment of Acute Migraine Pain.

The main aim of this study is to determine the effects of short-term treatment with hesperidin on COVID-19 symptoms in comparison with a placebo. Treatment effects will be observed through a symptoms diary that will be completed by participants throughout the study and by taking the oral temperature daily.

Most of the trials conducted comparing ondansetron and domperidone have been conducted among children aged below 5 or 6 years of age while no study from Pakistan has compared efficacy of these antiemetic agents among children up to 12 years of age. The findings of present study will give valuable evidence about the effectiveness of these antiemetic agents to prevent vomiting among children suffering with acute gastroenteritis at a resource limited setting of South Punjab, Pakistan.

The investigator wish to provide a blend of two essential oils with comparable antiemetic properties; Peppermint essential oil (Mentha x Piperita) and lemon tree essential oil (Citrus Limon). Dry inhalation of these essential oils is safe, but effectiveness has not been determined. Studies on the subject present a questionable methodology. This is why we are proposing this study to measure the effectiveness of this mixture of essential oils on chemo-induced nausea and vomiting. This study is a first step before a possible study to compare the effects of essential oils with those of a placebo.
