Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

* Gynecological surgery is associated with a high incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
* NK1 receptor antagonists such as aprepitant appear to be highly effective for treating acute and delayed emesis, and yet understanding of the efficacy of different doses of aprepitant is limited.
* We performed a prospective, randomized, double-blinded placebo-controlled study of 123 female adults scheduled for laparoscopic hysterectomy who received 80 mg aprepitant, 125 mg aprepitant, or a placebo.
