About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effectiveness of Dimenydrinate vs Ondasetron on the Prevention of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting

This study will investigate the impact of dimenydrinate (H1-receptor antagonist) versus ondansetron (HT3-receptor antagonist) in postoperative nausea and vomiting, in surgery-related preoperative stress and in the incidence of postoperative complications that could lengthen the LOS in PACU and/or the overall LOS.

Read the detailed description

Dimenydrinate has been extensively used for motion sickness. However, as far as postoperative nausea and vomiting is concerned the results are still conflicting.

This study will investigate the impact of dimenydrinate (H1-receptor antagonist) versus ondansetron (HT3-receptor antagonist) in postoperative nausea and vomiting, in surgery-related preoperative stress and in the incidence of postoperative complications that could lengthen the LOS in PACU and/or the overall LOS.

Being tested
Dimenhydrinate Tablets, Ondansetron iv

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dimenhydrinate Tablets and Ondansetron iv in people with PONV in Laparoscopic Cholocystectomies, run by University of Thessaly at 1 site in Greece.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Greece. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PONV (time frame: 30 minutes postoperative). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Dec 2022.
