Active clinical trials for "Vomiting"

Nausea and vomiting affects 25-30% of individuals in the post-operative period and can reach more than 70-80% in high-risk patients. inherited factors may play a significant role in individual susceptibility and clinical research on hereditary factors involved in the pathogenesis of Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting (CINV) is relatively new. The aim of this study is to investigate whether inter-individual differences related to PONV are associated with genetic factors. 300 patients will be evaluated in postoperative oncological surgeries. The peripheral leukocyte DNA will be extracted by the Salting Out Procedure method and processed to genotyping for 48 SNPs from 15 candidate genes by real-time PCR by the Taqman method. The possible associations with demographic data and factors related to surgery will be analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis.

The study aims to identify specific or potential reasons that prolong the length of hospital stay after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy. The hypothesis is that patients who are still in hospital after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy are associated with prolonged air leak, infection, pneumonia, atrial fibrillation or other complications or social factors.

Observation on acupoint electric stimulation combined with tropisetron in preventing and treating nausea and vomiting and improving the patient's appetite after TACE for primary or metastatic liver cancer patients.

The primary purpose of this prospective cohort study is to develop a simplified risk model for post-discharge nausea and vomiting (PDNV) in adult same-day surgery patients in the US that will allow clinicians to identify those patients who would benefit from prophylactic antiemetic strategies.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient related factors determining length of stay in hospital after arthroplasty surgery.

Investigators will observe the incidence of post-cesarean nausea or vomiting and try to associate it with some risk factors.

Cyclic vomiting syndrome is a disorder characterized by nausea and vomiting, separated by periods without any symptoms. There is very little research on this field at this point and most doctors do not fully understand the disorder. The goal of this study is to assess how the stomach empties food. Participants will be asked to participate in this study because either (a) they have been diagnosed and/or treated for cyclic vomiting syndrome in the past, or (b) they are physically healthy. The study seeks to compare how a healthy person's stomach empties to how the stomach of someone with cyclic vomiting disorder empties.

The use of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum seems to be able to reduce complications such as postoperative pain. However, the quality of evidence for most studies evaluating this relationship is considered low. The absence of concealment of pneumoperitoneum pressure and the lack of description of neuromuscular blockade characteristics are the main causes of bias. The purpose of this study will be to evaluate by means of a prospective, randomized and double-blinded trial, the quality of recovery (QoR-15) questionnaire of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under moderate neuromuscular blockade, using low pneumoperitoneum pressure or "standard" pressure. Eighty patients submitted to laparoscopic cholecystectomy and randomly distributed in two groups will be included: low pneumoperitoneum pressure (10 mmHg) or "standard" pressure (14 mmHg). The value of abdominal pressure will be kept hidden for all participants, except for the nurse responsible for the operating room. Moderate neuromuscular blockade will be maintained according to Train-of-four count (TOFc) = 3 for all cases.

The objective of this study is to investigate if aprepitant in association with palonosetron and dexamethasone could reduce the incidence of PONV in high-risk patients for this symptom, undergoing cancer surgery mastectomies.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the various parameters involved in the occurrence of nausea / vomiting during the first cycle of chemotherapy for solid tumors or hematologic among a group of chemotherapy-naive patients, despite anti standardized-emetics protocols.
