Active clinical trials for "Vomiting"

The investigators want to test the efficacy of these anesthetic antiemetic measures collectively with or without ondansetron or dexamethasone, in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The objective of the study is to examine the effect of the addition of intravenous dexamethasone 1.5 hours prior to induction of anesthesia on the post-operative opioid consumption, pain scores, fatigue, and recovery in patients undergoing gynecological surgery with laparotomy under general anesthesia. This is a dose finding study with two different doses (0.1 mg/kg vs. 0.2 mg/kg) of dexamethasone to find out the optimal efficacious dose of dexamethasone with minimal side effects. Dexamethasone has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and analgesic effects; and is superior to placebo in providing post-operative pain control, lower analgesic consumption, prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting, lesser post-operative fatigue, and better recovery profile. No dose response study has been done. The investigators hypothesize that a higher dose of dexamethasone may have an incremental beneficial effect.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine if dronabinol is effective in preventing or treating nausea caused by HAART (highly active anti-retroviral therapy) in HIV and AIDS patients

This study was undertaken to compare the two techniques (exteriorized vs in situ) of uterine repair with respect to patient comfort, hemodynamic changes, surgical time and blood loss, in patients undergoing elective CD under a strictly standardized spinal anesthetic. We hypothesized that in situ uterine repair would be more comfortable for the patients.

This study will compare the effect of prochlorperazine and ondansetron for the treatment of nausea and vomiting in the emergency department.

The primary purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy of three different dose schedules of palonosetron for the prevention of emesis over a 7-day study interval in multiple myeloma patients.

This study seeks to define the tolerability and safety associated with the administration of Dronabinol in the treatment of adults with nausea, vomiting and appetite loss in patients with primary gliomas who are undergoing chemotherapy treatment. The study will also describe the effect of Dronabinol on the quality of life in terms of nausea, vomiting and anorexia in this patient group.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness, tolerability and safety of oral topiramate for the preventative management of Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. It is believed that topiramate will decrease the frequency, duration and severity of attacks experienced by children and adolescents with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome.

To investigate that olanzapine can reduced side effect about nausea and vomiting in women with gynecologic cancers receiving carboplatin-based regimen by using olanzapine and placebo

The purpose of the Study is to test a higher dose of steroids(Dexamethasone) given just prior to surgery in the setting of Fast-Track Hip-surgery with Arthroplasty in a group of expected High Pain Responders and the effect on postoperative pain and postoperative inflammation.
