Summary
The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of metoclopramide in relieving the
symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).
It is our hypothesis that the combined antiemetic and analgesic effects of metoclopramide
(which has been study-proven to be effective in relieving symptoms of migraine headache) will
prove to be more efficacious in relieving symptoms of acute mountain sickness than the
standard, previously-studied analgesic medication, ibuprofen.
