Ondansetron lozenge vs IV for preventing shivering during C-section
Treatments studied
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether an ondansetron lozenge works as well as IV ondansetron to prevent shivering after tonsillectomy in children. It could offer a needle-free way to reduce side effects during recovery.
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 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 study tests two common anti-nausea drugs for women having emergency C-sections under spinal anesthesia who haven't fasted. It aims to find the best way to prevent vomiting and nausea during surgery.
This study tests a nasal spray given before a planned C-section to see if it reduces shivering during surgery. It may help you feel more comfortable during the procedure.
This study tests whether the drug granisetron helps prevent nausea and vomiting and keeps blood pressure stable during a cesarean section when you are awake but numb from the waist down (spinal anesthesia). It may help you feel more comfortable during delivery.
