Summary

This pilot study tests whether taking ondansetron (a nausea medicine) before an unsedated throat scope (EGD) can reduce gagging, nausea, and discomfort. About 40 Chinese patients who have had this procedure before will either get ondansetron plus a numbing gargle or just the gargle. They will rate their discomfort and gagging to see if the drug helps.
