Active clinical trials for "Vomiting"

The primary objective of this pilot study is to examine the efficacy of Aprepitant given in combination with Granisetron for the prevention of delayed-phase RINV in 84 patients receiving a single 8Gy of moderately emetogenic palliative RT in the RRRP at Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Centre for painful bony metastases from any primary solid tumor. Patients will be given a single dose of Granisetron 2 mg orally and Aprepitant 125 mg on Day 0 (at least one hour before on the day of RT) followed by 80 mg of Aprepitant once daily in the mornings on Days 1 and 2 following the radiation treatment.. Secondary objectives include determining the complete RINV prophylaxis rate (acute and delayed phases), the partial emesis control rate, the safety of the combined regime, QOL issues, the time to the first emetic event and the time to the first use of rescue medication .

This study will demonstrate and confirm the efficacy and safety of MK0869 for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in Chinese patients.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate how subjects with mild or moderate kidney problems process or breakdown the study drug GW679769 in their bodies as compared to healthy subjects.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate auricular acupuncture as an antiemetic treatment compared with sham acupuncture and with no acupuncture in patients receiving moderately-high to highly emetogenic chemotherapy. Acupuncture constitutes a nonpharmacological intervention for chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting (CINV). Chinese medicine holds that stimulating select points both on the body and the ear, that lie along meridians or life channels, can relieve diseases.

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy may relieve symptoms in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. It is not yet known which regimen of radiation therapy is most effective in relieving symptoms in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of different regimens of radiation therapy to relieve symptoms in patients who have non-small cell lung cancer.

This is a trial to determine the safety and efficacy of ginger in reducing the prevalence and severity of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting.

This study is looking at a range of doses of this NK-1 receptor antagonist drug, for both safety and effectiveness in prevention PONV

A comparative effectiveness research design was used. The sample size was calculated to 136 patients, who were randomized to an intervention group and a control group respectively. The patients were terminal ill patients enrolled to three in-bed hospices in Denmark and nausea and vomiting were measured using EORTC QlQ-c15-PAL (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Quality of Life Questionaire, core 15, Palliation)

The aim of this study to assess which time and dose of dextrose solution more effective in decreasing postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Aim: It has been aimed in this study to investigate the effects of hypnosis used to augment the conventional therapy on nausea, vomiting, rescue drug consumption and hospital stay in cases of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). Methods: This prospective randomised study was carried out with 41 inpatients diagnosed with HG. The patients were grouped as GH (n=18) given hypnosis and GC (n=23) not given hypnosis with the conventional therapy. Group H were hypnotized during two sessions and taught auto-hypnosis. Data on the patient demographics, VAS scores for severity of nausea, the numbers of vomiting per day, additional medications used and the days of hospital stay were recorded.
