Preventing nausea after gynecological surgery
Treatments studied
This trial tests a combination of methods to prevent nausea and vomiting after gynecological surgery using a laparoscope (a small camera). The study uses acupressure and other supportive care techniques to see if they can reduce post-surgery nausea, which is a common and uncomfortable side effect.

This trial tests whether combining a gentle electrical nerve stimulation technique (called TEAS) with three standard anti-nausea medicines can better prevent nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic surgery in women at high risk. If you qualify, you would receive the stimulation plus the medicines, or the medicines alone, to see which works best.
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 trial tests whether combining acupuncture with a standard anti-nausea medication can better prevent nausea and vomiting after minimally invasive lung cancer surgery. Many patients undergoing this surgery experience these side effects, especially when taking pain medication afterward.
This trial tests whether a medication called amisulpride can reduce nausea and vomiting after gynecological surgery (surgery on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or uterus using small incisions). Many patients feel sick after surgery, and this study aims to find out if this drug helps prevent that.
This trial tests if adding a medication called amisulpride to standard anti-nausea drugs can better prevent vomiting and nausea after gynecologic surgery. It is for women at high risk of postoperative nausea.
This trial tests a combination of three medicines given during surgery to reduce nausea and vomiting after anesthesia. You might be eligible if you’re having laparoscopic gynecologic surgery and meet the age and health requirements.
