Randomized Controlled Trial
Chewing gum for the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
A novel treatment, chewing gum, may be non-inferior to ondansetron in inhibiting postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in female patients after laparoscopic or breast surgery. In this pilot study, we tested the feasibility of a large randomized controlled trial. ⋯ Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: ACTRN12615001327572.
