Ondansetron oral strips to prevent shivering after spinal anesthesia
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if ondansetron, given as a strip that dissolves in the mouth, can prevent shivering after spinal anesthesia. Shivering can be uncomfortable after surgery, and this may help you feel better during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving a combination of two medicines before spinal anesthesia for a planned c-section can reduce the shaking (shivering) some women feel afterward. If effective, it may make recovery more comfortable.
This study tests three different doses of a medicine called dexmedetomidine, which is given through a spinal injection to prevent shivering during surgery for removing a ureter stone. Shivering after spinal anesthesia is common and uncomfortable, and the hope is that this medicine can safely reduce it.
This study tests two medicines that may help reduce or stop shivering after you receive spinal anesthesia for a cesarean section. Shivering is a common side effect and can be uncomfortable, so finding a better treatment could make your recovery more comfortable.
This trial tests if an ondansetron lozenge (a tablet you dissolve in your mouth) works as well as ondansetron given through a vein to prevent shivering during cesarean section. Shivering is a common side effect of spinal anesthesia.
This study tests a way to reduce shivering after surgery done with spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down). Shivering can be uncomfortable and increase recovery time, and the trial aims to see if a specific medication helps prevent it.
This trial tests if giving ondansetron before spinal anesthesia can prevent itching that often happens after a C-section. It may help you feel more comfortable during recovery.
