Haloperidol: A phenyl-piperidinyl-butyrophenone that is used primarily to treat SCHIZOPHRENIA and other PSYCHOSES. It is also used in schizoaffective disorder, DELUSIONAL DISORDERS, ballism, and TOURETTE SYNDROME (a drug of choice) and occasionally as adjunctive therapy in INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY and the chorea of HUNTINGTON DISEASE. It is a potent antiemetic and is used in the treatment of intractable HICCUPS. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p279)

Abdominal Pain: Sensation of discomfort, distress, or agony in the abdominal region.

Trial Outcomes

Emergency Department Length of Stay (EDLOS)

"The time frame starts from the moment of receiving the study drug to the time when the decision for final disposition is made. Usually after symptoms are controlled, patients are given a PO challenge (food or drink) in order to establish if they are OK to go home. If symptoms return, additional medications are given, the treatment is consider failed and they are admitted to the Hospital.~Patients will not be followed up if admitted to any service. The study ends when final disposition is made.~Patients follow up after final disposition is not part of the study and will not be done." (NCT02057549)
Timeframe: at the time the decision for final disposition is made (about 8 hours)
