Combining ondansetron and dyclonine for a more comfortable upper endoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether two medicines—ondansetron (to reduce nausea) and dyclonine (to numb the throat)—can make an unsedated upper endoscopy more comfortable. If you are having this procedure, the combination may help you feel less gagging and nausea.

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 study compares two numbing sprays to see which one is better at reducing discomfort during an unsedated (awake) stomach exam. The goal is to help patients feel more comfortable during the procedure.
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 trial compares two different sedative drugs to see which one works better for patients having an upper GI endoscopy, a procedure that looks at the esophagus and stomach. The goal is to find a drug that keeps patients comfortable and safe during the procedure.
This study compares two types of sedation for endoscopic procedures like ERCP, gastroscopy, or colonoscopy. One uses opioids, the other does not, to see which is safer and more comfortable.
This trial tests a medication (hyoscine butylbromide capsule) given before a painless upper endoscopy (a tube with a camera to examine your esophagus and stomach) to see if it helps relax the stomach and reduce discomfort during the procedure. Doctors will compare the medication to a placebo (a pill with no active medicine) to check if it is safe and effective.
