Active clinical trials for "Vomiting"

RATIONALE: Acupressure wristbands may prevent or reduce nausea and caused by chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether standard care is more effective with or without acupressure wristbands in controlling acute and delayed nausea. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well acupressure wristbands work with or without standard care in controlling nausea in young patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy.

RATIONALE: Gabapentin may prevent or reduce delayed nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether gabapentin is more effective than a placebo in preventing nausea and vomiting. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying the side effects of gabapentin and to see how well it works compared with a placebo in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy.

Aromatherapy has anecdotally been reported to decrease nausea and vomiting, decrease anxiety and increase quality of life in cancer patients. Therefore, the proposed study aims to assess the effectiveness of aromatherapy versus placebo on nausea, vomiting, anxiety and quality of life among pediatric oncology patients receiving emetogenic chemotherapy.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if adding dronabinol in combination with the standard of care (dexamethasone and palonosetron) can better help to control nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy. The safety of the drug combinations will also be studied.

This a Phase III trial designed to determine if IV casopitant plus dexamethasone and ondansetron is more effective in the prevention of vomiting and nausea then dexamethasone and ondansetrone alone following the administration of moderately emetogenic oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy.

Objective: to evaluate the bioavailability of subcutaneous granisetron.Patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy will be randomized to receive granisetron 3 mg either subcutaneously or intravenously in a crossover manner during two cycles. Blood and urine samples will be collected after each cycle.

RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs, such as ondansetron, may help to reduce or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients with advanced cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well ondansetron works compared to a placebo in treating patients with advanced cancer and chronic nausea and vomiting that is not caused by cancer therapy.

RATIONALE: Acupressure may help to reduce or prevent nausea in patients who are undergoing chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether acupressure plus standard care for nausea is more effective than standard care alone for nausea in women who are receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of acupressure in treating nausea in women who are receiving combination chemotherapy for breast cancer.

The sample consisted of 104 pregnant women. The Personal Information Form, the Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy Instrument and the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey were used to collected the data.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of peppermint oil upon incidence of nausea, vomiting and retching, nause severity, and the usage amount of antiemetics in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
