Filter by:This study evaluates a simple one day prophylaxis of nausea and vomiting for patients who are getting carboplatin based chemotherapy. In addition to standard oral Dexamethasone and oral Ondansetron, participants will be given a third neurokinin 1 (NK1) antagonist agent, either a single dose of oral Aprepitant or intravenous (IV) Fosaprepitant (they have been shown to be equally effective) to improve prevention of nausea and vomiting. No medications need to be taken beyond day 1.
This is a single site, prospective, randomized controlled study designed to evaluate the impact of acupressure when used as an initial treatment before rescue medications in the treatment of post-operative nausea and/or vomiting at UCD.
Prevention and control of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) are most important in treatment of cancer patients. CINV is one of the most distressing severe side effects of cancer treatment and can have a significant impact on a patient's quality of life. The chemotherapy agents that cause the worst degree of nausea and vomiting are categorized into two groups: moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC) and highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC). Nausea and vomiting that occurs within the first day of the administration of chemotherapy agents is considered acute CINV, while nausea and vomiting following 24 hours of the administration of chemotherapy agents is considered delayed CINV. Refractory CINV occurs when patients develop CINV during subsequent cycles of chemotherapy when drugs preventing vomiting and nausea (antiemetic prophylaxis) has not been successful in controlling CINV in earlier cycles. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Akynzeo in the treatment of refractory CINV
In parturients undergoing Cesarean section under spinal anesthesia, co-loading of 1 liter of crystalloids, with placing the spinal, along with administering a phenylephrine infusion and glycopyrrolate, enables placing a spinal with minimal perioperative nausea and vomiting and good intra and post-operative pain relief.
The patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be allocated to 3 groups. Group A and B patients will listen to a positive message under general anesthesia. Group C patients will not listen to the message. The postoperative pain, analgesic consumption and frequency of nausea, vomiting and emergence agitation episodes will be documented and compared between the 3 groups.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well rolapitant hydrochloride works in preventing nausea/vomiting in patients with sarcoma receiving chemotherapy. Antiemetic drugs, such as rolapitant hydrochloride, may help control or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients treated with chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that domperidone suspension plus oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is more effective than placebo plus ORT at reducing the symptoms of vomiting associated with acute gastroenteritis (AG) within the first 48 hours of treatment administration in pediatric participants with AG and mild-to-moderate dehydration.
This randomized pilot clinical trial dolasetron mesylate and dexamethasone with or without aprepitant in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy for gastrointestinal malignancy. Antiemetic drugs may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients treated with chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether giving aprepitant together with dolasetron mesylate and dexamethasone is more effective than dolasetron mesylate and dexamethasone alone in preventing nausea and vomiting.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fosaprepitant (MK-0517) plus ondansetron versus ondansetron alone for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in pediatric participants scheduled to receive chemotherapeutic agent(s) associated with moderate or high risk of causing emesis (vomiting), or chemotherapy agent(s) not previously tolerated due to vomiting. The primary hypothesis is that a single dose of fosaprepitant in combination with ondansetron provides superior control of CINV compared to ondansetron alone as measured by the percentage of participants with a Complete Response (no vomiting, no retching, and no use of rescue medications) in the delayed phase (>24 to 120 hours) following initiation of emetogneic chemotherapy in Cycle 1.
This is a randomized prospective study to determine the optimal postoperative pain medication regimen for adults (18 years old and older) undergoing tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy for chronic tonsillitis and/or snoring and/or obstructive sleep apnea. All participants will undergo the same tonsillectomy surgical technique (with or without adenoidectomy) under general anesthesia and be randomized to one of three postoperative pain control regimens (all of which are commonly used pain medications for post-tonsillectomy pain): 1. Norco (Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen) 2. Percocet (Oxycodone and Acetaminophen) 3. Dilaudid and Tylenol (Acetaminophen) Participants will be discharged home the day of surgery and will be sent home with questionnaires to assess their daily pain level, oral intake, amount of nausea/vomiting, and amount of pain medications taken for the 14 days following their surgery. Data will be collected and analyzed to determine if there is a difference in pain levels or oral intake or nausea/vomiting in the different pain regimen groups. Secondary endpoints will include weight change from preoperative weight to weight at 2-3 weeks after surgery in addition to postoperative complications including visits to the Emergency Department and post-tonsillectomy bleed rates. Participants will be seen 1-2 weeks following their surgery in the ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) clinic per normal postoperative protocol and will not require any specific clinic visits related to this study.
