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 study tests two different medication combinations to prevent nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery. You'll receive either ondansetron plus metoclopramide, or dexamethasone plus metoclopramide, and researchers will track how quickly you need rescue medication if nausea occurs.
This study tests whether a simple head movement called the Epley maneuver can help treat dizziness caused by a common inner ear condition (BPPV) in the emergency room. If you have short episodes of vertigo that last less than 2 minutes, you may be able to join.
This study tests if chewing gum helps reduce dizziness in people who come to the emergency room with a common type of vertigo caused by loose crystals in the inner ear. If you qualify, you will get the standard medicine for dizziness, and half the participants will also chew gum to see if it makes them feel better faster.
This study tests whether a medicine called rimegepant can quickly stop dizziness attacks that are related to migraine. It is for people who have had repeated, moderate-to-severe dizziness spells with migraine-like symptoms.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether ondansetron (a medicine used to reduce nausea and vomiting) works better than a placebo, along with usual care, for adults with acute gastroenteritis. It also checks how safe ondansetron is in this setting, especially for the heart rhythm and other side effects.
