Filter by:The purpose of this study is to characterize the accompanying symptoms, evaluation and management of patients with chronic vestibular dysfunction presenting with nausea and vomiting.
This clinical trial is studying how well granisetron, aprepitant, and dexamethasone work in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy for stage II, stage III, or stage IV ovarian cancer. Granisetron patch, aprepitant and dexamethasone may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy for stage II, stage III, or stage IV ovarian cancer.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the absorption of a prepared aprepitant oral suspension with that of the aprepitant capsule in children being treated with chemotherapy agents that are likely to cause vomiting.
Silastic rings have been used around the gastric pouch in order to promote better weight loss after Roux-and-Y gastric bypass surgery ( RYGBP). However the investigators have shown that some patients developed gastroesophageal reflux disease after RYGBP in a previous study. The investigators hypothesized that the use of a silastic ring may play a role in promoting GERD after this operation.
The primary objective of this pilot study is to examine the efficacy of Aprepitant given in combination with Granisetron for the prevention of delayed-phase RINV in 84 patients receiving a single 8Gy of moderately emetogenic palliative RT in the RRRP at Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Centre for painful bony metastases from any primary solid tumor. Patients will be given a single dose of Granisetron 2 mg orally and Aprepitant 125 mg on Day 0 (at least one hour before on the day of RT) followed by 80 mg of Aprepitant once daily in the mornings on Days 1 and 2 following the radiation treatment.. Secondary objectives include determining the complete RINV prophylaxis rate (acute and delayed phases), the partial emesis control rate, the safety of the combined regime, QOL issues, the time to the first emetic event and the time to the first use of rescue medication .
This trial is designed to evaluate olanzapine compared to the metoclopramide in the treatment of break through emesis after prophylaxis with dexamethasone, 5-HT 3 receptor antagonists and aprepitant in patients receiving chemotherapy. Efficacy will be assessed using a modified MASCC questionaire with a visual analog scale.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of low dose dexamethasone versus high dose dexamethasone in the treatment of radiation induced vomiting.
The purpose of this prospective, randomized, double-blinded, active-controlled study is: To assess the effectiveness of systemic administration of lidocaine and esmolol in combination (vs. either drug alone) will result in improved postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing abdominal surgery (e.g., less pain and postoperative constipation, nausea and vomiting, faster return of bowel function, resumption of normal activities of daily living), leading to a shorten length of hospital stay, maintaining hemodynamic stability during general anesthesia, when administered as intravenous adjuvants
RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs, such as fosaprepitant dimeglumine, may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients treated with chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects of fosaprepitant dimeglumine and to see how well it works in treating patients with nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the complete response (no vomiting and no need for other medications to treat nausea) in terminally ill patients suffering from nausea and/or vomiting, who are treated with palonosetron. Another objective is to determine the partial response (relief of nausea and vomiting to the extent that the patient wishes to continue treatment with palonosetron) after being treated with palonosetron. Palonosetron is currently approved by the FDA to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy. The investigators are testing this medication to see if it can help to relieve nausea and vomiting not associated with chemotherapy.
