Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is effective in reducing nausea and vomiting experienced by patients recovering from anesthesia. OMT is a treatment in which the physician places his hands on areas of the body and applies pressure to correct disturbances in one area that may be related to a problem in another area of the body. Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine is a specialty for a physician who uses OMT.

The hypothesis of this study is when OMT is combined with standard-of-care prophylactic anti-emetic therapy in patients following administration of inhalational anesthesia, in comparison to a control group receiving only standard-of-care anti-emetic prophylaxis there will be a reduction in the incidence and severity of PONV.
