Filter by:Nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy are considered by patients as the main side effects of cancer treatment, which affect the quality of treatment and life.At present, NCCN guidelines have recommended three or four drug regimens for highly emetic chemotherapy (HEC) to prevent vomiting, all containing dexamethasone.However, its side effects such as moderate to severe insomnia, hyperglycemia, dyspepsia, upper abdominal discomfort, irritability, increased appetite, weight gain and acne are gathering increasing concerns.For certain patients, the use of dexamethasone should be avoided.Analysis shows that olanzapine can replace the effect of dexamethasone.Hence, the investigators initiated this prospective, multi-center, phase III study to validate the dexamethasone-free protocol: removing dexamethasone from a three drug regimen containing olanzapine, dexamethasone, and 5-HT3RA.
This is a single center, prospective, double-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of bilateral superficial cervical plexus blocks (BSCPB) with local wound infiltration vs placebo with local wound infiltration in reducing thyroid surgery postoperative pain. Primary outcomes assessed are post operative pain, quality of life/recovery, post operative nausea/vomiting and opioid use.
The aim of this clinical trial is to assess preemptive oral pregabalin administration in the obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The main aims of the study are to evaluate postoperative pain treatment and effect on the intraoperative hemodynamical stability. The participants will be divided into 2 groups: with or without preemptive pregabalin administration.
The purpose of this research is to determine if gastric point of care ultrasound (G-POCUS) can be used to help clinicians determine when to feed patients or when to insert or remove nasogastric tubes for patients recovering from colorectal or abdominal surgery. Patients enrolled in the intervention group will have G-POCUS exams performed after surgery. The results of the exams will be used to make clinical decisions. Researchers will compare these patients to patients receiving the usual care in the hospital after surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of a nurse-led standardized intervention on chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) what's the best practice to enhance the management of CINV; (2) how's the effect of the nurse-led standardized intervention on CINV in the patients treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Participants in the intervention group will receive evidence-based, nurse-led standardized management of CINV, including nurse-led risk assessment, education on prevention and control of CINV, antiemetics following guidelines, dietary strategies, relaxation therapy, and follow up. Participants in the control group will receive routine care of CINV. The incidence and occurrence degree of CINV and its influence on patients' quality of life will be compared between the two groups.
This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of care based on the "Accelerated Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol" and the traditional method in bariatric surgery and demonstrate the difference the two methods based on evidence.
Hormonal and physical changes during pregnancy can cause nausea and vomiting. Nausea and vomiting are common, especially in the first trimester. The incidence of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy varies between 50% and 80%. Symptoms range from mild nausea to excessive vomiting, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and weight loss to a severe form of nausea-vomiting called hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Nausea-vomiting can cause discomfort in the pregnant woman in its mildest form, and a serious threat to the life of the mother and fetus in the most severe form. Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy is an important symptom that reduces the quality of life of the pregnant woman.In order to reduce the complaints of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, women are offered suggestions such as changing their eating habits and staying away from stress. Complementary and alternative methods can also be used to reduce nausea and vomiting. Acupressure, which is one of these methods, is accepted as an important, effective, supportive and economical complementary method as a non-invasive technique that midwives can directly include in the control of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, reducing the severity of labor pain, accelerating the birth process, gynecological problems and assisting breastfeeding. The efficacy of acupressure applied to P6, ST36 and CV8 points in cases of nausea and vomiting experienced after motion sickness, chemotherapy or surgery has been investigated in many studies. The CV8 point has not been studied sufficiently in reducing nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a band-aid applied to the umbilical area (Shenque-CV8 point), which is a method that pregnant women can apply on their own, on nausea-vomiting during pregnancy.The sample of the study will consist of 60 pregnant women, 30 in the application group and 30 in the control group. Which of the application/control groups of the pregnant women constituting the sample group will be included will be determined by simple randomization. Pregnant women in the treatment group will be asked to fix a hazelnut-sized cotton ball to their navel with a Band-Aid regularly for five days before going to bed at night. Pregnant women in the control group will not be asked to make any life changes. Five days later, the nausea-vomiting levels of the pregnant women who applied and the pregnant women in the control group will be compared.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the breathing exercise on pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting and the quality of life in the early pregnancy period. Background: Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy is a condition that can negatively affect the quality of life and the course of pregnancy in pregnant women. Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy with breathing exercises and can positively affect the quality of life women. Methods: This study is a single-blind randomised controlled trial. 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.
As a preventive for postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery, the investigators shall investigate the efficacy of the triple therapy of dexamethasone, palonosetron, and fosaprepitant comparing to dual therapy of dexamethasone and palonosetron.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Aprepitant + standard antiemetic regimen in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gastric sleeve versus placebo + standard antiemetic regimen
