Trial IDTitleStatusSponsorPhaseStart DateSummary
NCT01593280 ↗ TAP Catheters Versus Intrathecal Morphine for Cesarean Section Unknown status I-Flow N/A 2012-05-01 Morphine, when given as part of spinal anesthesia, is associated high incidence of nausea and pruritus, which may affect quality of recovery. The investigators hypothesize that long-acting local anesthetic infusions via TAP catheter can provide better quality of recovery after cesarean section than spinal morphine.
NCT01414777 ↗ Intravenous Ondansetron to Attenuate the Hypotensive, Bradycardic Response to Spinal Anesthesia in Healthy Parturients Unknown status University of Virginia Phase 2/Phase 3 2009-11-01 The investigators hypothesize that given prophylactically, intravenous ondansetron will attenuate the drop in blood pressure and heart rate frequently seen after spinal anesthesia. Eighty-six American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I or II in preoperative patient assessment, parturients age of 18 to 45 years scheduled to undergo elective caesarean section will be enrolled. Patients will be randomized to 2 groups: the ondansetron group, receiving 8 mg intravenous ondansetron diluted in 10 mL of saline; or the placebo group, who were administered 10 mL of saline given 5 minutes prior to performing the spinal anesthetic. Investigational Pharmacy will randomize and dispense study drug. Baseline measurements of vital signs will be taken. Otherwise standard management will then be used: - Patients must be NPO for 8 hours - Pulse oximetry, EKG monitoring, noninvasive blood pressure at a minimum of every 3 minutes, more frequently if decided by the provider. - Standard lumbar puncture in a sitting position the L3-L4 or L4-L5 - Whitacre pencil-point, 25 gauge - Injectate: 2 mL of 0.75% hyperbaric bupivacaine, 100 mcg preservative free morphine, 20 mcg fentanyl - Immediately after completing the subarachnoid injection, patients will be laid supine with left lateral uterine displacement The sensory level of anesthesia will be assessed in the standard fashion every five minutes using ice. The motor component will tested using the Bromage scale for spinal anesthesia (0, no paralysis; 1, inability to lift the thigh [only knee/feet]; 2, inability to flex the knee [only feet]; 3, inability to move any joint in the legs).
NCT01236859 ↗ Gabapentin for Prophylaxis Intrathecal Morphine-Induced Pruritus Completed Prince of Songkla University N/A 2009-09-01 Intrathecal morphine provides good postoperative analgesia for up to 18-24 hour after administration. Pruritus is the most common side effect of intrathecal morphine, which the incidence was reported as 20%-100%2 and 63% in Songklanagarind Hospital. Pathophysiology of opioid-induced pruritus remain unclear and more than one mechanism may be involved in the development of opioid-induced pruritus, such as, mediated central µ opioid receptors, Dopamine (D2) receptors, Serotonin (5-HT3) receptors, prostaglandin system, GABA receptors, and glycine receptors, so that why opioid-induced pruritus is difficult to manage. Many medications have been used to treat this side effect included antihistamines, 5-HT3 (serotonin) receptor antagonists, opioid antagonists, opioid agonist-antagonists, propofol, and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant, a structural analog of aminobutyric acid, and currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of partial seizures and postherpetic neuralgia. Many studies have shown gabapentin to be effective in the case of brachioradial pruritus, itch of neuropathic in origin, uremic pruritus, multiple sclerosis-induced pruritus,cholestatic pruritus, itch produced by burn, and pruritus of unknown origin. However, there is only one small study in Taiwan shown the effectiveness of gabapentin 1200 mg in prevention of intrathecal morphine-induced pruritus in orthopedic surgery, which could reduce incidence of pruritus from 77.5% to 47.5% (38.7% reduction). Because gabapentin has several side effects especially in high dose such as drowsiness, dry mouth, headache, unsteadiness, reduced co-ordination or slowed reaction, constipation, diarrhea, peripheral edema, dizziness, confusion, loss of concentration, weight gain, and nausea, vomiting, so in our study we decided to reduce the dose of gabapentin. Therefore, we would like to know if gabapentin in a smaller dose (600 mg) used in the wider range of age including the elderly can decrease the incidence of intrathecal morphine-induced pruritus in orthopedic surgery in Songklanagarind Hospital.
NCT01055236 ↗ Hydroxyzine for the Prevention of Pruritus From Spinal Morphine in Transabdominal Hysterectomy Patients Completed Mahidol University Phase 4 2007-08-01 Hydroxyzine is one of antihistamines that antagonizes H1 receptor, and it's effects are reducing pruritus, nausea/vomiting, and the mild effect of sedation.With these effects Hydroxyzine should be used in the prevention of these symptoms.

Ondansetron Hydrochloride Preservative Free: Clinical Trials, Market Analysis, and Projections

Clinical Efficacy and Trials

Ondansetron hydrochloride, a widely used antiemetic, has been extensively studied in various clinical trials to assess its efficacy in preventing nausea and vomiting in different patient populations.

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV)

In clinical trials involving adults undergoing cancer chemotherapy, ondansetron hydrochloride has shown significant efficacy. A double-blind trial comparing different dosing regimens (0.015 mg/kg, 0.15 mg/kg, and 0.30 mg/kg) administered three times during chemotherapy found that the 0.15 mg/kg dosing regimen was more effective than the 0.015 mg/kg regimen, with no additional benefit observed at the 0.30 mg/kg dose[1].

For pediatric patients, several open-label and noncomparative trials have been conducted. In one trial involving 75 pediatric cancer patients aged 6 to 48 months, ondansetron administered intravenously in three doses of 0.15 mg/kg resulted in a complete response (no emetic episodes) in 56% of patients on Day 1[1].

Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV)

Ondansetron hydrochloride has also been evaluated for its effectiveness in preventing PONV. Two placebo-controlled trials involving 2,792 patients undergoing major abdominal or gynecological surgeries showed that a single 4 mg intravenous dose of ondansetron significantly reduced the incidence of emetic episodes compared to placebo. However, no additional benefit was observed with an 8 mg dose[1].

In pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia, ondansetron was found to be significantly more effective than placebo in preventing nausea and vomiting. A single 0.1 mg/kg intravenous dose administered immediately prior to or following anesthesia induction reduced vomiting incidence from 28% in the placebo group to 11% in the ondansetron group[1].
