Dextrose versus saline for nausea after gynecological surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of intravenous fluids—dextrose (a sugar solution) and saline (salt water)—to see which one reduces nausea and vomiting caused by spinal morphine during gynecological abdominal surgery. It may help find a simple way to prevent these side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether giving morphine into the spinal fluid during surgery can help you feel better and recover more comfortably after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. It may also reduce the need for other pain medicines.
This study tests a pain management approach that avoids strong painkillers (opioids) during and after gynecological surgery. It uses a numbing injection in the belly wall and a medicine called dexmedetomidine to control pain instead.
This trial compares two different medications (morphine and dexmedetomidine) given through a spinal injection to see which provides better pain relief after lumbar spine surgery. If you qualify, you will receive one of these treatments or a placebo to help manage your pain after the operation.
This trial tests a combination of methods to prevent nausea and vomiting after gynecological surgery using a laparoscope (a small camera). The study uses acupressure and other supportive care techniques to see if they can reduce post-surgery nausea, which is a common and uncomfortable side effect.
This trial tests if a steroid called dexamethasone palmitate can prevent nausea and vomiting after open surgery. It is for people having planned spine, chest, or abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.
This trial tests if giving anti-nausea medicine before spinal anesthesia can reduce nausea and vomiting during and after cesarean section. It may help women who receive morphine and other painkillers through the spinal injection.
