Chemo nausea still a problem despite standard care, study finds
NCT ID NCT01440465
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracked 300 cancer patients receiving their first round of chemotherapy to see how often nausea and vomiting still happen, even with standard anti-nausea medicines. Participants filled out questionnaires about their symptoms in the first 24 hours and up to 4 days after treatment. The goal was to better understand what factors lead to these side effects, not to test a new treatment.
