Could a simple wristband replace drugs for severe morning sickness?

NCT ID NCT07613814

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

Summary

This study tested a vibratory wristband worn on the inner wrist for 15-20 minutes to reduce nausea and vomiting in 240 pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness). The device stimulates a pressure point (P6) thought to calm the stomach. Researchers measured symptom changes using a standard questionnaire. If effective, it could offer a non-drug option for managing this debilitating condition.
