Clinical Study Title:
Alternative therapies for nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.
| Plain
English Summary: |
There
have been many therapies suggested for relieving the
nausea and vomiting associated with early pregnancy.
This study reviews various methods to determine which
methods were found to be effective at reducing nausea
and vomiting. Acupressure, ginger and vitamin b6 were
found to be among the most effective. The use of acupressure
has found to significantly reduce the vomiting and
reports of nausea, as well as supplements of ginger
and oral daily supplements of vitamin b6. This suggests
that during the early stages of pregnancy, using a
daily supplement of vitamin b6 as well as ginger as
needed may help to reduce the subjective feelings
of nausea as well as episodes of vomiting. |
