NCT ID NCT07209501
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether aromatherapy inhaler sticks can reduce nausea and vomiting in 30 patients receiving chemotherapy as part of a stem cell transplant. Participants use the inhaler every four hours and whenever they feel sick. Half get essential oils, half get a placebo (jojoba oil only). The study mainly checks if this approach is practical and acceptable, and also tracks nausea severity and vomiting episodes.
