Improving nausea and vomiting care during surgery
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new approach to prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery. It compares usual care to a structured plan that matches anti-nausea medicines to your personal risk factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having surgery with general anesthesia using a breathing tube or laryngeal mask.
- You have at least one risk factor for nausea/vomiting (like motion sickness, history of nausea after surgery, being a non-smoker, being female, surgery expected to last over an hour, certain surgeries (e.g., gallbladder, laparoscopy, gynecologic), or receiving opioids during surgery).
- You are not having certain procedures (like ECT, labor epidurals, TEE/cardioversion, or surgery lasting less than 30 minutes).
- You are not expected to go to the ICU directly after surgery while still on a breathing tube.

This study looks at how a medicine used during anesthesia might affect another medicine that helps prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery. It may help improve how patients feel after their operation.
This trial compares two pain medicines given during laparoscopic surgery to see which one causes less nausea and vomiting after surgery. If you are at high risk for post-surgery nausea, this study might help you recover more comfortably.
This trial tests if adding HRS5580 to standard anti-nausea medicine works better to stop vomiting after surgery. You may qualify if you are at moderate-to-high risk for nausea after general anesthesia.
This study tests whether combining a very mild nerve stimulation (taVNS) with a sedative (dexmedetomidine) can reduce nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic surgery. It may be a good option if you are scheduled for keyhole surgery and want to feel better afterward.
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 study collects information from patients who have surgery to better understand and prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (feeling sick or throwing up after anesthesia). By joining, you help researchers learn how to reduce these side effects.
