| OTC | NCT00124787 ↗ | A Trial Comparing the Effect of Oral Dimenhydrinate Versus Placebo in Children With Gastroenteritis | Completed | Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians | Phase 4 | 2005-04-01 | Dimenhydrinate, an over-the-counter, widely used drug in Canada, is an ethanolamine-derivative anti-histamine. It limits the stimulation of the vomiting center by the vestibular system, which is rich in histamine receptors. Multiple studies have shown its effectiveness in treatment of post-operative nausea and vomiting in children. It is also used for treatment of vertigo in children. Furthermore, it has the potential to be much more cost-effective than ondansetron, with an average cost of $0.90 US per dose . Its principal side effects are drowsiness, dizziness and anticholinergic symptoms. Restlessness and insomnia have also been described in children. To date, there has been no published data on the efficacy of dimenhydrinate in controlling emesis in children with acute gastroenteritis. RESEARCH QUESTION Do children treated with oral dimenhydrinate during acute gastro-enteritis experience less vomiting episodes than children treated with placebo? |

| NCT00791960 ↗ | Prophylactic Dimenhydrinate for Intraoperative Nausea and Vomiting | Completed | Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital | N/A | 2008-11-01 | The purpose of this study will be to determine whether an intravenous dose of dimenhydrinate (also known as Gravol), given before the induction of spinal anesthesia, will decrease the incidence of intraoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing Cesarean delivery. This medication is commonly given during and after the surgery if required, but it is not known whether a preventative dose will decrease the overall incidence of these side effects. |
| NCT01524731 ↗ | The Effect of Prophylactic Antiemetic Dexamethasone on Plasma Cortisol Levels | Completed | William Li Pi Shan | N/A | 2012-05-01 | Dexamethasone is a synthetic corticosteroid that has been proven to be effective and relatively safe for the prophylaxis of the postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). However, little is known about its effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis after surgery. The investigators hypothesize that it will inhibit the normal physiologic HPA surge and reduce cortisol levels post-operatively ia a dose-dependant fashion. To answer this question, the investigators will conduct a randomized, double-blinded placebo-controlled trial with two different doses of dexamethasone in women undergoing elective gynecologic laparotomy. |
| NCT01543945 ↗ | Prevention Post Operative Nausea Vomiting in Ambulatory Gynecologic Laparoscopy | Completed | Prince of Songkla University | Phase 2 | 2008-03-01 | The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of Postoperative nausea and vomiting between the intervention group who received multimodal antiemetic management and the control group who did not get this protocol. |
| NCT01890538 ↗ | Comparison of Efficacy Between Piracetam and Dimenhydrinate in Patients With Peripheral Vertigo | Completed | Kocaeli University | Phase 4 | 2013-06-01 | This study aims to investigate efficacy of two different intravenous drugs (dimenhydrinate and piracetam) in the symptomatic management of peripheral vertigo. The patients will be randomized in two groups according to symptomatic treatment modalities: Dimenhydrinate (100 mg) and piracetam (2 g) will be given in 100 cc normal saline in 30 minutes. Each patient will be asked if her/his vertigo symptoms resolved or not, according to a numeric rating scale (0=no vertigo, 10=worst possible vertigo). The patient will be rate the intensity of symptoms in the following times: - Numeric rating scale (1 to 10): Admission - Numeric rating scale (1 to 10): After the study drug (No ambulation)* - Numeric rating scale (1 to 10): After the study drug (Ambulation)* - Ambulation refers to head movements or walking in the room, if applicable. |
