Timing is everything: early nausea relief in the ER
NCT ID NCT07523230
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 200 adults in the emergency department who had nausea. It compared giving anti-nausea medicine within the first 30 minutes versus waiting longer. The goal was to see if earlier treatment reduces nausea more and makes patients more comfortable. Results could help ER doctors decide the best time to give nausea medication.
