First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether combining ear acupressure (using small seeds on specific ear points) with the steroid dexamethasone can better prevent or reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer patients. About 25 participants will receive the treatment before chemo and track their symptoms for five days. The goal is to improve comfort and reduce the need for extra anti-nausea drugs.
