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.
