Inhaled isopropyl alcohol for nausea and vomiting relief
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether breathing in a small amount of isopropyl alcohol through the nose can reduce nausea or vomiting. It may help people who still have bothersome nausea even with usual care, by using a non-oral approach to start feeling better.

This study tests if a drug called fosaprepitant can help people in the emergency room whose nausea and vomiting don't improve with standard medicine. It may be an option if you still feel sick 2 hours after your first nausea treatment.
This study tests whether aromatherapy (using scents like lavender or peppermint) can help reduce nausea in children during their hospital stay. If your child is in rehab and often feels sick, this simple treatment might offer relief without extra medicine.
This trial compares two anti-nausea medicines (fosaprepitant and metoclopramide) given in the emergency room to see which works better for adults with nausea or vomiting. If you qualify, you would receive one of the study medications and have follow-up calls to check how you're feeling.
This Phase 2 study tests whether inhaling a small amount of isopropyl alcohol through the nose can lessen nausea in people with cancer. If you currently feel quite nauseated and can safely inhale, you may be eligible to try this supportive-care approach.
This trial tests a new, easy-to-take film that melts on the tongue to prevent vomiting caused by radiation therapy in children with cancer. It may be a good option if your child is getting radiation to the belly or spine and has trouble swallowing pills.
