The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether daily oral metformin extended-release (metformin-XR), taken prior to pregnancy, can reduce the risk and severity of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG)-a severe nausea and vomiting condition in pregnancy-in individuals aged 18-49 who have experienced HG in a previous pregnancy and are trying to conceive. Researchers also aim to better understand which individuals may respond well-or poorly-to metformin based on biological and clinical characteristics. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Is metformin-XR acceptable and well-tolerated when taken by non-pregnant individuals who have had HG in a previous pregnancy and are currently trying to conceive? 2. How safe and tolerable is metformin-XR when taken at increasing doses over 8 weeks and continued through early pregnancy (or for up to 12 months if pregnancy does not occur)? 3. Among those who become pregnant during the study, does pre-pregnancy metformin-XR use reduce the risk of HG coming back and lower the severity of nausea and vomiting symptoms? 4. How does pre-pregnancy metformin-XR use affect pregnancy outcomes, postpartum health, and newborn health and development? 5. Are there specific genetic, biomarker, demographic, or clinical features that predict whether someone is likely to benefit from metformin-XR or experience side effects that lead them to stop taking it? Researchers will compare a metformin treatment group to a survey-only group (comparator) to see if metformin-XR is associated with improved outcomes, including reduced HG recurrence and better maternal and neonatal health indicators. Participants will: Complete online questionnaires before pregnancy, during early pregnancy, and postpartum (Treatment group only) Take daily metformin-XR and attend three brief study visits (Treatment group only) Undergo blood draws at specified timepoints to assess safety and biological response
NCT06772974
Nausea and vomiting are common GI symptoms of pregnancy. Multiple managing options have been used for NVP. Doxylamine succinate is used as first line treatment for NVP despite that alternative modalities such as ginger extracts and tablets is being explored. This RCT will be conducted after taking ethical approval and informed consent, in Department of Gynecology, Aziz Bhatti Shaheed teaching hospital, Gujrat. Patients will be divided into two equal groups. One group will receive tablet ginger while other group will receive Doxylamine succinate tablets. Baseline PUQE score (3- 15 point scale) over 24 hour will be noted according to symptoms of nausea and vomiting following 7 days of treatment and then at 2nd and 3rd week. Comparison of the change in the severity of nausea from baseline scores (Post-therapy PUQE score - base line scores) in both groups will be considered for results.
NCT06757374
This cross-sectional case-control study was conducted in Tuzla State Hospital Obstetrics Clinic in Turkey. The study evaluated 400 pregnant women during their first trimester of pregnancy. Many pregnant women (50-90%) experience nausea and vomiting during their first trimester; however, some patients have a disease called "hyperemesis gravidarum" (HG) characterized by very severe nausea and vomiting that may require hospitalization. resistin" is a peptide which is secreted primarily by human adipocytes and mononuclear cells. Evidence suggests that resistin increases plasma glucose concentration, reduces glucose intake by adipocytes, and promotes insulin resistance. Considering the HG effect on endocrinologic and metabolic complications, we hypothesized that resistin levels in maternal serum may change in the presence of HG; therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate these resistin levels during the first trimester and their correlation with HG severity.
NCT05452174
The primary objective of this proposal is to conduct an early Phase 2 clinical trial to determine the acceptability, dosing, tolerability and safety of mirtazapine for severe nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (sNVP) that is not adequately responsive to current standard treatments. This plan mirrors clinical practice since commonly prescribed antiemetic/ antinauseant drugs will be tested for efficacy before treating with mirtazapine.
NCT06266819
In the research planned as a randomized controlled study, the experimental groups will be administered routine hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) treatment as well as chewing mint-flavored gum, while the control group will only receive routine HG treatment and no intervention will be performed. This study aims to contribute to the literature by investigating the effect of chewing mint-flavored gum on the severity of nausea and vomiting, coping with stress, and anxiety levels due to hyperemesis gravidarum in pregnant women.
NCT05098067
Between fifty and eighty percent of pregnant women experience nausea and vomiting in pregnancy making it one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy. Hyperemesis gravidarum is an extreme form of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy and results in evidence of acute starvation (i.e. large ketonuria), and weight loss (\>5% of a woman's pre-pregnancy weight). Hyperemesis gravidarum is also surprisingly common. In fact, it is the second leading cause of preterm hospitalization during pregnancy, second only preterm labor. Hospitalization is often required because hyperemesis is frequently refractory to common anti-nausea medications. However, capsaicin cream, a potent TRPV1 agonist, commonly used to relieve muscular and neuropathic pain, may be able to reduce the symptoms of nausea and emesis in patients with nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Smaller studies have demonstrated capsaicin to be both safe and effective when used to treat intraoperative nausea during cesarean delivery. To begin to address whether capsaicin cream could be used to reduce preterm admissions and shorten emergency room visits for hyperemesis, this study will randomize women presenting to the emergency room for nausea and vomiting to treatment with capsaicin cream as an adjunctive medication or routine care. The project will investigate the impact of capsaicin cream on hospital length of stay as well as representation for additional treatment. If effective, capsaicin cream has the potential not only to reduce emergency room visits, hospital admissions and overall health care costs, but also to drastically improve patient quality of life.
NCT05927740
Aim Physiological changes in intraocular pressure as well as in the cornea and macula may occur during pregnancy. In the literature, there are limited data on ocular findings in hyperemesis gravidarum. Therefore, we have decided to investigate the effect of hyperemesis gravidarum on macular thickness, corneal thickness and intraocular pressure (IOP).
NCT05829473
Objective: The aim of the researchers is to determine the effects of guided imagery and diaphragmatic breathing exercise application on nausea, vomiting severity, and anxiety level in pregnant with hyperemesis gravidarum. Methods: This study was planned as a single-blind randomized controlled experimental study. It is planned to be conducted with 180 pregnant women to be randomized in a university hospital in Southeastern Anatolia between April 2023 and August 2023. Data will be collected using the "Descriptive Information Form", "Nausea-Vomiting Severity Assessment Test During Pregnancy" and "Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Scale-R2". Keywords: Anxiety, Hyperemesis Gravidarum, Nausea-Vomiting, Guided Imagery, Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise, Nursing,
NCT03127293
Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is a common disorder for hospitalization in the first trimester of pregnancy and related to protracted vomiting and nausea. It can be accompanied by ketonuria, dehydration and weight loss. Our aim was to investigate osteoporosis in patients with HG. In our study, we investigated osteoporosis in a total of 79 patients (40 HG and 39 control) by means of dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) measurements and laboratory parameters related to HG.
NCT00293644
The purpose of this study is to determine whether pre-emptive use of a delayed release combination of pyridoxine hydrochloride and doxylamine succinate (Diclectin®), before eruption of symptoms of Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy and hyperemesis gravidarum, will reduce the incidence of severe forms of this syndrome/HG.
NCT02830321
The purpose of this study to explore the association between Hyperemesis Gravidarum in pregnant women and Helicobacter pylori infection.
NCT02300155
The purpose of this study is to compare the tolerability of Pregvit® to a common prenatal vitamin (Orifer® F) among pregnant women with morning sickness or those suffering from a variety of conditions.
NCT00795561
Upto 80% of all pregnant women experience some form of nausea and vomiting (NVP) during their pregnancy. Hyperemesis gravidarum, a more severe form of NVP affects approximately 0.3- 2.0% of pregnancies and is the commonest indication for admission to hospital in the first half of pregnancy and second only to preterm labor as a cause of hospitalization overall. According to the Hyperemesis Education and Research Foundation, conservative estimates indicate that HG can cost a minimum of $200 million annually in house hospitalizations in the United States of America. The investigators aim to conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the hypothesis that the availability of day care services for the initial treatment of NVP reduces the mean duration of stay in hospital by 1 day and results in significantly greater patient satisfaction compared with standard inpatient management.
