Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This research study looks at how often nausea and vomiting happen after a planned C-section with spinal anesthesia, when standard preventive medicine is given. If you are having a planned C-section with a single baby at over 37 weeks, this study may help doctors understand your risk better.
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 compares giving ondansetron (a nausea medicine) through a vein versus injecting it near a nerve to prevent nausea and vomiting after weight loss surgery. It may help identify which method works best for patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
This trial tests whether a medicine called ondansetron (commonly used for nausea) can help prevent low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for planned C-sections. If you are a healthy pregnant woman with a single baby at full term and scheduled for a C-section, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if giving anti-nausea medicine before spinal anesthesia can reduce nausea and vomiting during and after cesarean section. It may help women who receive morphine and other painkillers through the spinal injection.
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.
