Summary
This trial tests whether a wearable TENS device called EmeTerm can reduce nausea in adults who have had nausea for at least 2 months. Participants wear the device on their wrist for 12 weeks and track their symptoms daily. The study compares nausea frequency during device use to a 2-week baseline period without the device.
