Testing ondansetron strips to prevent shivering after spinal anesthesia
This trial tests if a fast-dissolving ondansetron strip placed in the mouth can help prevent shivering in patients who have had spinal anesthesia for lower body surgeries. If you are having a planned surgery on your legs, hips, or lower belly with spinal anesthesia, this might be an option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This trial tests if a medication called dexamethasone can help prevent or reduce shivering that sometimes happens after spinal anesthesia for lower leg surgery. It compares different doses to find the safest and most effective one.
This trial tests if adding a drug called dexamethasone to the spinal anesthetic can reduce shivering during and after a C-section. It may help keep you comfortable and warm.
