Filter by:RATIONALE: Using acupressure wrist bands to press and stimulate nerves at an acupressure point on the inside of the wrist may help control nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well acupressure works in preventing nausea and vomiting in young cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
This study evaluates whether the implementation of a prediction rule for postoperative nausea and vomiting changes physician behaviour, improves patient outcome and improves cost-effectiveness of treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs, such as aprepitant, granisetron, and dexamethasone, may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients treated with chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving aprepitant together with granisetron and dexamethasone works in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients receiving cyclophosphamide before undergoing an autologous stem cell transplant.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether stimulation to the akupressurpoint P6 with a recently developed bracelet are effective preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting
The primary purpose of this study is to determine an effective dose of this NK-1 anti-emetic medication to prevent nausea and vomiting in females after surgery.
To study the safety and effectiveness of a granisetron patch to treat Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV)
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of ramosetron plus dexamethasone injection with granisetron plus dexamethasone injection for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced vomiting and nausea.
RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs, such as aprepitant, ondansetron, and dexamethasone, may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing a stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying aprepitant, ondansetron, and dexamethasone to see how well they work compared to placebo, ondansetron, and dexamethasone in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients who are undergoing a stem cell transplant.
This study hypothesizes that patients receiving efficacy enhancing information about the acupressure bands will expect less treatment-related nausea, which will subsequently result in less treatment-related nausea compared to patients who do not receive such information. This study extends prior research by utilizing a randomized controlled trial in a clinical environment to examine the efficacy of an intervention that is specifically designed to reduce patients' response expectancies concerning nausea development from cancer treatments, and, thereby, reduce nausea. The objectives of this study are as follow: 1. To provide preliminary data on whether a two-tiered strategy to increase patients' expectancies for nausea prevention and/or management will result in reduced chemotherapy-induced nausea. 2. To provide preliminary data on whether a two-tiered strategy to increase patients' expectancies for nausea prevention and/or management will result in increased health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients receiving emetogenic chemotherapy. To provide preliminary data on whether a two-tiered strategy to increase patients' expectancies for nausea prevention and/or management is more effective than a single-tiered strategy in reducing chemotherapy- induced nausea.
A new intravenous medication is being tested for the prevention of the nausea and vomiting that occurs after surgery. This new medication is being compared to another intravenous medication that is already available to patients for this indication.
