Stomach scope comfort: ondansetron + numbing spray trial
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a combination of a nausea medicine (ondansetron) and a numbing spray (dyclonine) can make having a stomach scope test more comfortable for people who are awake during it.

This trial tests whether taking two medicines (N-acetylcysteine and simethicone) before an upper endoscopy helps the doctor see the stomach lining more clearly. It may be an option for people having their first endoscopy, without active bleeding.
This trial tests whether a nausea medicine called ondansetron helps people feel better and lets doctors work more efficiently during a camera test (endoscopy) for upper GI bleeding. If you need an emergency endoscopy for bleeding, ondansetron may reduce discomfort.
This trial compares two numbing sprays (dyclonine vs. tetracaine) to see which works better for people getting a stomach scope procedure without sedation. If you are having a routine unsedated gastroscopy, this study may help make you more comfortable.
This trial tests whether ondansetron can improve stomach “sensorimotor” problems—how the gut senses food and moves it—especially in people with diabetes and troubling indigestion. It may help reduce symptoms like early fullness, nausea, and discomfort after eating.
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.
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.
