Zapping wrists in surgery to stop patient nausea
NCT ID NCT02473042
Summary
This study tested if a gentle electrical stimulation applied to a specific point on the wrist during surgery could help prevent nausea and vomiting afterward. It involved 188 women at high risk for these symptoms who were undergoing breast cancer surgery. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either the wrist stimulation plus standard anti-nausea drugs or the standard drugs alone to see which approach worked better.
