This REMAP Periop ERP domain study falls under the Periop Core Protocol, which compares the different recommended strategies for enhancing recovery through the use of various standard of care treatments before, during and after surgery in all patients with elective surgical encounters at UPMC who meet eligibility criteria. The ERP domain seeks to enhance recovery by optimizing strategies of perioperative care through evaluating combinations of perioperative treatment, which consists of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care. Optimal combinations of perioperative care will be generated and analyzed to determine the best outcomes for patients as defined by reduction in hospital free days, reduction in postoperative nausea and vomiting, and improved pain control.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether it is necessary to decompress the stomach during gynecologic laparoscopy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there appropriate visualization during surgery without stomach decompression? * Can the surgeon tell the stomach is decompressed? * Is the stomach at risk for injury during surgery? * How is the patient's postoperative experience affected? Participants will undergo their planned surgery as usual and will be asked to complete log about their recovery for the first week after surgery. Researchers will compare patients who have their stomach decompressed during surgery to those who do not undergo stomach decompression to see if it is necessary.

The primary objective of this phase 2 randomized controlled trial is to determine whether the pre-operative administration of olanzapine (5 mg PO) improves quality of recovery (assessed by the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) survey) on postoperative day 1 in patients having ambulatory surgery with general anesthesia. The secondary objectives of this study are to determine whether there are differences in quality of recovery on postoperative day 2, presence of post-discharge nausea, presence of severe post-discharge nausea, recovery room length of stay and opioid consumption in patients who receive the study drug versus placebo.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a commonly used medication after surgery to control pain. Tablets for oral use and suppositories for rectal use are the most frequently employed forms of acetaminophen after surgery. Intravenous (IV) acetaminophen is widely used in several countries but is not a standard medication for the adult population in Canada. It is mainly considered when it is impossible to take medication in tablet or suppository form. Opioids (Morphine, Hydromorphone, Oxycodone, etc.) are another class of medications commonly used after surgery for pain management. While they are generally very effective and stronger than acetaminophen or other pain relievers (e.g., ibuprofen/Advil), reducing their use is preferable, as they can cause various side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and dependence. IV acetaminophen may help control pain while also reducing opioid consumption. However, there are few high-quality scientific studies proving the benefits of IV acetaminophen compared to other forms, such as tablets or suppositories. Acetaminophen has been available in Canada for many years and has already been recommended for use in Quebec by the Institut national d'excellence en santé et services sociaux (INESSS) under certain conditions. This study aims to validate its benefits with clear data.

This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, non-inferiority study of patients undergoing tonsil surgeries at Boston Children's Hospital Waltham. The overall aim is to evaluate the efficacy of an opioid anesthetic plan (morphine, ketorolac, and acetaminophen versus an opioid sparing anesthetic plan (dexmedetomidine, ketorolac and acetaminophen) for perioperative analgesia and recovery time in patients undergoing tonsillectomies and tonsillotomies at Boston Children's Hospital Waltham. Secondary measures include rescue opioids administered in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), re-operation secondary to bleeding, emergence delirium, post-operative nausea and vomiting, intraoperative hemodynamics, intraoperative vasopressor administration, and length of procedure.

This study is a prospective randomized clinical controlled trial testing the effects of pre-operative \>50 g pre-operative carbohydrate fluids (apple juice) on a patient's post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) incidence and intensity. Optimizing fluid therapy in the peri-operative setting has been proven to improve patient outcomes and reduce complications and length of hospital stay. Based on practice guidelines under the American Society of Anesthesiologists, pre-operative hydration with complex carbohydrate drinks is safe and should be encouraged as it helps with improving metabolism to an anabolic state, decreases insulin resistance, reduces anxiety, and reduces PONV. While pre-operative carbohydrate (CHO) fluids have already been studied and adopted by other surgical specialities (Vascular, General Surgery, Orthopaedics, etc.), this has not yet been studied in oral and maxillofacial surgery, especially at Boston Medical Center (BMC). During surgery, each participant will undergo our current Enhanced Recovery After Surgery "ERAS" protocol, which includes general anesthesia using inhalational gas, judicious IV fluids, intra-operative steroid and ondansetron (anti-emetic), use of 0.5% bupivacaine local anesthesia per quadrant at surgery end time, use of a throat pack, and orogastric/nasogastric (OG/NG) tube suctioning prior to extubation to minimize ingestion of blood. Pain and anxiety medications prior to and during surgery include 2 mg midazolam, fentanyl per anesthesia, toradol, and dexmedetomidine. Having this protocol will help minimize confounding variables that could affect the primary outcome-- incidence and severity of PONV. The objectives for this research are: * To evaluate if pre-operative clear CHO help reduce incidence and intensity of PONV. * To assess if pre-operative clear carbohydrate fluids affect length of hospital stay * To determine if pre-operative CHO reduce patient's pre-/post-operative anxiety * To compare the amount/number of opioids and anti-emetics needed post-operatively between the two groups * To compare ability for patients to return to PO hydration via the amount of fluid ingestion (mL) vs. if they need IV fluids due to decreased PO intake/inability to tolerate PO fluids * To evaluate if patient Apfel score is also a strong indicator for incidence/severity of PONV

The purpose is to find out if intraoperative acupuncture performed by needling PC 6 and LI4 point bilaterally, and Yin Tang point will help reduce the incidence postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy when added to a prophylactic regimen consisting of ondansetron and dexamethasone. The hypothesis is that the addition of this acupuncture treatment to ondansetron and dexamethasone given for prophylaxis will help reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy when compared to patients receiving ondansetron and dexamethasone without acupuncture.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

ADHD PatientAge: 31

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Post-operative nausea and vomiting clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Post-operative nausea and vomiting clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Post-operative nausea and vomiting trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Post-operative nausea and vomiting is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Post-operative nausea and vomiting medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Post-operative nausea and vomiting clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Carbohydrate Fluids for Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting, Intravenous Acetaminophen for Pain Management and Aprepitant for Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting to the Power online platform.
