NCT07451392
Pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (PPPD) is a standard surgical treatment for tumors of the pancreatic head and surrounding areas. However, it is frequently associated with delayed gastric emptying (DGE), a complication that can lead to nausea, vomiting, and prolonged hospital stays. This study is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate if a simple intraoperative maneuver (pneumatic balloon dilatation of the pylorus) can reduce the incidence of early postoperative vomiting and DGE. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group, receiving pyloric dilatation during surgery, or the control group, receiving standard surgery without dilatation. Researchers will monitor postoperative symptoms, gastric emptying function, and overall recovery to determine if this maneuver effectively improves patient outcomes.
NCT07421817
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common and distressing complications following laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether a single preoperative intravenous dose of dexamethasone reduces postoperative vomiting compared with placebo and explored patient-related risk factors associated with PONV. Women undergoing elective laparoscopic gynecologic surgery were randomly assigned to receive dexamethasone (5 mg IV) or placebo at induction of anesthesia. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative vomiting within 24 hours, with secondary outcomes including nausea severity, rescue antiemetic use, and postoperative recovery parameters.
NCT07274215
This single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of intraoperative paragastric block (PGBLOCK) on early postoperative visceral pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and analgesic requirements in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Despite advancements in multimodal analgesia protocols, visceral pain remains a significant postoperative concern following LSG, contributing to increased opioid use and delayed recovery. Paragastric block is a novel technique targeting autonomic neural pathways-such as branches of the celiac ganglia and vagal nerves-through precise intraoperative injection of local anesthetics near the stomach. A total of 180 patients scheduled for elective LSG will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either paragastric block with 20 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine or a sham block with 20 mL of isotonic saline. Injections will be administered at six predefined anatomical sites under laparoscopic guidance after gastric resection. The surgical technique, anesthetic protocol, and postoperative care will be standardized for all participants. Both patients and clinical personnel involved in care and outcome assessment will remain blinded to group assignment. The primary outcome is the assessment of postoperative visceral pain using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores at 0 and 2 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes include PONV severity grading, mobilization status, total analgesic consumption (pethidine + tramadol), and need for rescue antiemetics within the first 24 hours post-surgery. Exclusion criteria include history of upper abdominal surgery, chronic opioid use, pregnancy, severe systemic disease, or allergy to medications used in the protocol. This study is expected to provide high-quality evidence regarding the efficacy of paragastric block in improving early postoperative recovery and reducing opioid reliance after LSG.

NCT07201883
The proposed randomized clinical trial aims to test and compare the efficacy of chewing gum vs. Intravenous antiemetic ondansetron as rescue treatment for post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) among Lebanese female patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery in the post-operative anesthesia care unit (PACU).
NCT03413371
The aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of preventive analgesia using different peribulbar blocks (PBB) under SPI-guided anaesthesia for vitreoretinal surgery (VRS), presence of PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting) and oculocardiac reflex (OCR) and compare Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) for monitoring pain perception postoperatively. Patients will receive general anaesthesia combined with either preventive PBB using either lidocaine with bupivacaine or bupivacaine or ropivacaine
NCT06937684
This study investigates the safety and tolerability of early oral clear fluid intake in children aged 1-8 years undergoing elective outpatient non-gastrointestinal surgeries. Patients will be randomized to receive clear fluids either at 1 hour or 2 hours after general anesthesia. The goal is to determine whether earlier fluid intake increases the risk of postoperative vomiting (POV), or whether it can be safely tolerated in pediatric patients."
NCT06865378
Postoperative pain, which is frequently encountered in laparoscopic operations, has been examined in different studies with end tidal CO2 (end tidal carbon dioxide), total insufflated gas amount and PI (Perfusion index) parameters. PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting), which is encountered more frequently than pain in the postoperative period, has been examined in relation to end tidal CO2. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the development of postoperative pain and PONV, which affect recovery and patient comfort, by comparing the relationship between end tidal CO2, PI and PVI (Pulse variability index).
NCT06816355
This study aims to investigate the rates of postoperative nausea and vomiting in transgender patients on hormone therapy compared to cisgender patients undergoing the same procedures (hysterectomy, orchiectomy, augmentation mammoplasty).
NCT06689046
Endoscopic procedures are widely implemented to diagnose both malignant and benign diseases. Nausea and vomiting is a common complication after anesthesia. Yet, nausea and vomiting after endoscopic procedures are not dully established. The primary aim of the study is to assess the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The secondary aim is to identify possible risk factors, both related to the patients and the procedure itself.
NCT06609993
The aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of analgesia using either thoracic epidural or intravenous infusions for open lumbar infrarenal aortic aneurys repair and compare Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) for monitoring pain perception postoperatively. Patients received either preemptive thoracic epidural analgesia using either 0,2% ropivacaine with fentanyl or 0,2% bupivacaine with fenthanyl or preemptive intravenous infusion using metamizole and tramadol.
NCT05804591
The aim of this clinical trial is to assess preemptive oral pregabalin administration in the obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The main aims of the study are to evaluate postoperative pain treatment and effect on the intraoperative hemodynamical stability. The participants will be divided into 2 groups: with or without preemptive pregabalin administration.
NCT01186029
This study is looking at whether the addition of Aprepitant (Emend), an antiemetic, will provide added efficacy if added to 2 drugs that are already used as a standard of care for post-operative nausea and vomiting and post-discharge nausea and vomiting.
NCT02509143
Background: PONV is one of the prevalent discomforts in the early phase of recovery after surgery. Evidence suggests that the stimulation of the P6 acupuncture point can reduce the occurrence of PONV. What remains unclear is whether a higher dose of acupuncture produces more benefits compared with P6 stimulation alone or whether acupuncture combined with standard antiemetic medication yields better outcomes. Objectives: This study aims to assess the effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of intensive acupuncture treatments combined with standard antiemetic medication as compared with P6 acupoint stimulation combined with standard antiemetic medication or with standard antiemetic medication alone.
NCT06426186
Postoperative nausea and vomiting is one of the common postoperative complications. Studies have reported that without any antiemetic prevention treatment, the overall incidence of PONV in surgical operations is up to 20-30%, and the incidence of PONV in high-risk operations such as gynecological laparoscopy is higher. Postoperative nausea and vomiting can lead to perioperative complications and seriously affect the prognosis of patients. Although various preventive and therapeutic measures have been adopted in clinic, the incidence of perioperative nausea and vomiting is still high. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to explore more effective and feasible methods to prevent the occurrence of PONV. Stellate ganglion block has been proved to be widely used in clinic and can play a positive role in multiple organs and systems of the whole body. In clinical work, stellate ganglion block is more widely used in the treatment of various pain, autonomic nerve disorders and other diseases. However, there are few clinical studies on whether stellate ganglion block can be used as an effective and feasible means to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting and the related mechanisms to prevent the possible occurrence of nausea and vomiting. Therefore, this project aims to explore the preventive effect of stellate ganglion block on postoperative nausea and vomiting in gynecological laparoscopic surgery patients, and to explore its possible mechanism.
NCT06371131
Postoperative nausea and vomiting is one of the most common postoperative complications second only to postoperative pain. Studies have reported that without any antiemetic prevention treatment, the overall incidence of PONV in surgical operations is up to 20-30%, and the incidence of PONV in high-risk patients such as thyroid surgery is even up to 70-80%. PONV not only increased discomfort and prolonged hospital stay; Severe cases can lead to wound dehysis, acid-base imbalance, water and electrolyte metabolism disorders, seriously affect the prognosis of patients. Although various prevention and treatment measures have been adopted in clinical practice, it still cannot be completely eliminated. Therefore, postoperative nausea and vomiting of thyroid is still a concern in clinical anesthesia work, so it is urgent to explore more simple and effective measures to prevent thyroid PONV. SGB is the injection of local anesthetics into loose connective tissue containing stellate ganglion. It has a clear effect on postoperative analgesia of thyroid surgery, and can play a certain role in preventing thyroid PONV by reducing the application of perioperative opioids. Few studies have reported that the incidence of PONV can be significantly reduced after the application of SGB in patients with thyroid surgery, which provides a certain basis for the prevention of thyroid PONV. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effect of right stellate ganglion block on preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting of thyroid, and to explore the possible mechanism of action.
NCT06320613
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of implementing snap-needle therapy combined with ginger paste during anesthesia recovery on the recovery of gastrointestinal function after gynecological laparoscopy.
NCT02283281
Clinical evidence about the effects of cannabis in a perioperative setting or for the management of acute pain is rather scarce, mostly consisting of case report-based opinions on adverse events during or after general anesthesia after smoking cannabis, experimental pain trials in healthy volunteers, and a few clinical trials using different drugs, dosages and routes of administration. It is difficult to draw strong conclusions from the available evidence, that may seem sometimes even contradictory, mainly due -the investigators believe- to the many sources of variability in the study designs (e.g.: heterogeneity of the study samples, underpowered, unblinding, lack of randomization, timing of the therapeutic intervention, different experimental pain models, inclusion of different kind of surgical pain, etc.). Nevertheless, expert's opinion after a critical review of the literature is that cannabis and cannabinoids may have a beneficial role in the management of acute post-operative pain and nausea, at least for a selected group of patients and through an appropriate therapeutic intervention. Therefore, it seems to us pertinent to carry out an investigation in order to re-evaluate the issue of perioperative cannabis use through a sufficiently powered and controlled clinical trial. Some of cannabis effects such as sedation, bronchodilation, dryness of respiratory secretions, vein dilation, and increase of heart rater without producing hypertension, make of it an attractive option for pre-medication; while its antiemetic properties and its analgesic potential without causing respiratory depression may be profitable for the post-operative period. Cannabis oil seem to be most suitable to our investigation. The co-administration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with cannabidiol (CBD) may translate into additional therapeutic benefits with an attenuation of adverse effects. The investigators expect to obtain less sedation, milder "high", lower incidence of anxiety, tachycardia, and hyperalgesia, as compared with THC-only acute pain trials.
