Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of SP-01 in chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) associated with the administration of moderately or highly emetogenic (ME or HE) multi-day chemotherapy，which will provide scientific and reliable clinical data in the drug registration in China.
For breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy regimens, the use of a validated emesis (nausea and vomiting) risk calculator will provide superior anti-emetic (nausea and vomiting) control compared with "standard" anti-emetic regimen. The risk calculator has the potential to provide more individualized anti-emetic regimen by decreasing the use of toxic/costly anti-emetics in patients at low risk and possibly more importantly enhancing the appropriate anti-emetic regimen in patients at high risk.
PONV (Postoperative nausea and vomiting) is one of most common complications after general anesthesia. Female sex, history of PONV, motion sickness, nonsmoker status, use of volatile agents, duration of anesthesia, opioid administration and laparoscopic surgery are known as risk factors for developing PONV. In consequence, patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery are at high risk for developing PONV. Most of these patients use fentanyl based IV-PCA. And it also causes PONV. So, we should prevent PONV in these patients by using multimodal or combination therapy. Aprepitant is a NK1 receptor antagonist.And it is used to prevent chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. Many studies using aprepitant to prevent PONV are in progress. In this study, we investigate the effect of combining aprepitant with ondansetron in high-risk patients for PONV.
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 purpose of the study is verify the capability of a standardized Ginger (Zingiber officinale) extract to manage nausea in cancer patients receiving highly emetogenic treatments and standard anti-emetogenic therapy.
The investigators want to test if it is indicated to associate dexamethasone and ondansetron in obese patients having bariatric surgery under total intra-venous closed-loop anesthesia.
The purpose of this study is to determine the level of pain, anxiety and side effects that women experience with a surgical abortion and the effect that the anti-anxiety medication, midazolam, might have when used along with ibuprofen and a paracervical block (PCB) instead of the standard pain treatment of only ibuprofen and a PCB.
Postoperative pain, the great concern for the patients undergoing spine surgery, has led to common use of opioid-based intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) postoperatively. Opioid-based IV-PCA offers better pain control, which could facilitate early recovery, rehabilitation and increase patient satisfaction. However, its use inevitably increases the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), another great discomfort, as high as 80% in patients with multiple risk factors.Therefore, there have been consistent efforts to prevent PONV with multimodal therapies such as risk stratification, modification and preventive use of antiemetics. Of all antiemetics, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT3) antagonist, especially ondansetron, is most commonly used and extensively studied to reduce PONV because of its efficacy and fewer side effects.[8] However, its efficacy is not quite satisfactory when it comes to PONV associated with opioid-based IV-PCA. Recently, there are many reports comparing the antiemetic efficacy between ondansetron and the 2 newly developed 5-HT3 antagonists, ramosetron and palonosetron. Ramosetron is known to have a higher affinity and longer duration of binding to 5-HT3 receptor, therefore exhibits potent and sustained anti-emetic effect than previously developed 5-HT3 antagonists.Palonosetron has a unique allosteric binding to the 5-HT3 receptor, which brings a higher affinity, longer duration of action and longer elimination half-time.According to the previous studies, both ramosetron and palonosetron showed superior antiemetic efficacy for PONV associated with opioid-based IV-PCA to ondansetron as expected by their theoretical advantages. However, it has never been evaluated which one has superior antiemetic efficacy for opioid-based IV-PCA associated PONV. Therefore, in this study, we tried to evaluate the relative antiemetic efficacy of ramosetron and palonosetron in controlling opioid-based IV-PCA related PONV.
The purpose of this study is to compare post-cesarean section consumption of pain medication between two groups of patients undergoing scheduled cesarean section at term gestation who receive a single-dose of intraoperative steroid (dexamethasone 8 milligrams) versus placebo at 24 hours after surgery. The hypothesis is that a single perioperative dose of dexamethasone 8 mg will significantly reduce postoperative opioid consumption at 24 h in women having cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia.
We randomized patients who received laparoscopic surgery for benign gynecologic disease into double dose (Experimental Group) or single dose (Control Group) of antiemetics. We compared the degree of postoperative nausea and vomiting in experimental and control groups.
