Effectiveness

How Reglan Affects Patients

Metoclopramide helps your stomach empty faster by relaxing the muscle at the bottom of your esophagus. It also helps to reduce nausea and vomiting. Additionally, it helps your gastrointestinal tract move without increasing the amount of acid or digestive juices. However, if taken for more than twelve weeks, it can cause unwanted symptoms such as tardive dyskinesia, dystonia, and akathisia.

How Reglan works in the body

Metoclopramide is an antiemetic and prokinetic drug. It helps reduce nausea and vomiting by blocking dopamine and serotonin signals in the brain, and it helps food move through the digestive system by blocking dopamine signals in the muscles. It also helps increase the activity of a key muscle in the digestive system, allowing food to pass through faster.

When to interrupt dosage

The advocated dosage of Reglan is determined by the diagnosed state, including Nausea, Intubation (procedure) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The amount of dosage is contingent upon the administration method (e.g. Spray or Tablet, orally disintegrating) stipulated in the table hereunder.

Reglan for Heartburn

Do not use this medication. I used the generic form and it caused me a great deal of mental and emotional distress, to the point where I had to go on two different medications to get through it. This drug is banned in Europe and Canada for good reason, and it should be taken off the market in the United States as well.

Reglan for Nausea and Vomiting

I only took this medication for two days, but it caused me a great deal of distress. I had strange dreams, felt restless and couldn't sleep at all. I also experienced suicidal thoughts, paranoia and anxiety. The trembling and anxiety were so bad that I decided to stop taking the drug. Based on my experience, I would warn others about this dangerous medication.

Patient Q&A Section about reglan

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the most serious side effect of Reglan?

"REGLAN may cause serious side effects, including tardive dyskinesia (TD), which are involuntary, abnormal movements mostly of the face muscles that you cannot control."

Answered by AI

What is Reglan used to treat?

"This medication is used to relieve heartburn that occurs after a meal or during the daytime. It can also help healing by reducing the damage done by stomach acid to the esophagus. Metoclopramide is also used in diabetic patients who have poor emptying of their stomachs (gastroparesis)."

Answered by AI

What symptoms does Reglan treat?

"Metoclopramide, marketed under the brand name Reglan, is a dopamine antagonist used as an antiemetic to treat nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, heartburn, and early satiety. Metoclopramide is available in generic form."

Answered by AI

Is Reglan an appetite stimulant?

"This medication works by increasing the movements or contractions of the stomach and intestines. It is used to relieve symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, heartburn, a feeling of fullness after meals, and loss of appetite. Metoclopramide may also be used to treat heartburn for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)."

Middle Meningeal Artery Stimulation for Migraine

18 - 100
All Sexes
Galveston, TX

This study is testing a new way to help with migraine headaches. Researchers want to see if it's safe and doable to stimulate a blood vessel in the head (called the middle meningeal artery) with microcatheters and microwires. This has never been done before for migraines and is an investigational treatment that is not part of standard migraine treatment. This stimulation would happen just before giving the standard lidocaine treatment, which is already routinely used for migraines. The goal is to see whether this new step could help improve headache outcomes. Two FDA-cleared medical devices will be used, the Cadwell Cascade 32 PRO and the Cadwell Guardian IONM System, to perform the stimulation and monitoring. In this study, the Cascade 32 PRO will be used in a way that is not part of its usual approved purpose (this is called "off-label" use) to gently deliver electrical pulses through a microcatheter. The Cadwell Guardian IONM System will be used in its normal, FDAapproved way for continuous monitoring during stimulation.

Medical Cannabis for Nausea and Vomiting

18+
All Sexes
Rochester, NY

Many people receiving chemotherapy experience nausea despite standard anti-nausea medications. Medical cannabis is commonly used to help manage nausea, but there is limited scientific evidence about its effectiveness when used alongside modern chemotherapy treatments. This study will evaluate whether medical cannabis can reduce nausea in adults receiving moderately or highly nausea-causing chemotherapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to start medical cannabis either immediately or after one chemotherapy cycle, allowing comparison of symptoms with and without cannabis use. All participants will continue their usual anti-nausea medications. The study will also examine effects on vomiting, appetite, pain, fatigue, sleep, mood, quality of life, and inflammation. Results from this pilot study will help determine the safety, feasibility, and potential benefits of medical cannabis for chemotherapy-related nausea and guide future larger clinical trials.

Dietary Intervention for Migraine

18 - 75
All Sexes
Washington D.C., United States

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a low-glutamate diet can improve migraine symptoms in adults with migraine and to explore possible biological changes associated with dietary improvement. The study focuses on whether reducing dietary glutamate intake may influence processes involved in migraine, such as brain excitation, inflammation, and oxidative stress. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does following a low-glutamate diet reduce the number of migraine days and the severity and duration of migraine attacks, and improve quality of life? Are improvements in migraine symptoms associated with changes in blood-based biological markers related to migraine activity? Researchers will compare participants assigned to the low-glutamate diet with participants assigned to a wait-list control group to evaluate differences in migraine outcomes and related biological measures. Participants will: Complete a baseline run-in period while tracking headaches using a daily migraine diary Either follow a low-glutamate dietary intervention or continue their usual diet as part of a wait-list control Complete standardized questionnaires related to migraine symptoms and quality of life Provide blood samples for laboratory analyses Undergo neuroimaging assessments (for a subset of participants)

App-based Breathing Program for Migraine

18+
All Sexes
Phoenix, AZ

Migraine is one of the most common neurological disorders, characterized by recurrent headaches, sensitivity to light and movement, nausea, and autonomic dysregulation. Although mind-body interventions like biofeedback have shown their efficacy, they remain underutilized due to barriers such as transportation, time constraints, lack of awareness, stigma, and cost. A targeted approach to enhancing HRV is HRV biofeedback (HRVB), a technique using visual or auditory feedback to help people regulate HRV through slow-paced breathing and positive emotional regulation to promote ANS balance and emotional resilience. Investigators will conduct a remotely delivered pilot RCT of an 8-week, 10 min/day, novel app-based HRVB intervention compared to a sham control intervention (matching intervention time and attention with no biofeedback component) in adult with chronic migraine. Investigators hypothesize data collected from the study will: a) support the feasibility and acceptability of the remotely delivered app-based HRVB intervention among adults with chronic migraine, and b) provide insights into refining the intervention by examining patterns of change in migraine and psychological outcomes from pre- to post-intervention.

Aprepitant for Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting

18+
All Sexes
Montreal, Canada

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are a frequent and debilitating complications after surgery, affecting up to 80% of patients at high risk in the absence of prophylaxis. Despite the rigorous application of the recommendations from the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) at CHUM, a recent local study reveals a prevalence of 25% PONV at home after outpatient surgery. However, the therapeutic options at home remain limited. This study aims to evaluate if the addition of 40 mg aprepitant to a multimodal strategy for preventing PONV improves clinical outcomes in high-risk patients undergoing outpatient surgery.

Embolization for Migraine

18 - 80
All Sexes
Baltimore, MD

This study is to test the safety and feasibility of a procedure called embolization of the middle meningeal arteries (MMA), using a product called Onyx. Embolization creates a plug in the arteries. MMA embolization with Onyx is not approved for use in patients with migraines, but is currently used in patients with subdural hematomas. The FDA is allowing the use of Onyx in this study. It is thought that by using Onyx to block the middle meningeal arteries, the amount of migraine-causing substances which are released into the brain's bloodstream will be reduced. The company that manufactures Onyx, Medtronic, is providing the supplies for this study. Participants will be in the study for about 8 months after enrolling, including 6 months of follow up after the procedure. The participants will be asked to complete a daily headache diary and continue the participant's regular migraine medications. Participants will also have several clinic visits and be asked to provide blood samples for research.

Dexmedetomidine + Dexamethasone for Postoperative Pain

18 - 75
All Sexes
Tucson, AZ

The goal of this clinical study is to improve upon the standard practice of utilizing nerve blocks to enhance the satisfaction of patients undergoing shoulder, or foot and ankle surgery regarding their quality of pain control, the duration of their nerve blocks, as well as the avoidance of opioid medications and subsequently their undesirable side effects. The researchers hypothesize that dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone (Dex-Dex) will work synergistically as adjuncts in a low, non-weight based formula. This would allow the investigators to improve patient satisfaction by providing them with a superior means of pain control that is longer in duration with a decreased probability of unwanted side effects. The proposed clinical study will be a prospective, randomized control trial.

Rimegepant + Zavegepant for Migraine

18+
All Sexes
New York, NY

This study evaluates the effectiveness of rimegepant 75 mg orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) single-dose or zavegepant 10 mg nasal spray single-dose as acute migraine treatments during Emergency Department (ED) encounters. Although these two calcitonin gene-related peptide receptors (CGRP) receptor antagonists are FDA-approved for the indication of acute migraine treatment, past studies have been limited to the outpatient setting. If these medications are effective in the Emergency Department, their delivery methods alone may have advantages over intravenous medications commonly used for acute migraine in EDs, including quicker time to treatment delivery, faster pain relief, and reduced ED length of stay. This investigation is a pilot study to examine rimegepant and zavegepant in an ED, to gain insight on effectiveness in this setting. This study will administer rimegepant 75 mg ODT single-dose or zavegepant 10 mg nasal spray single-dose as acute migraine treatments to 100 patients in the Emergency Department. It is a single center, open-label, non-controlled 2-group clinical trial (allocated 1:1 to rimegepant or zavegepant via pseudo-random assignment). The study will enroll adults in the ED meeting ICHD-3 criteria for migraine or probable migraine, with or without aura.
