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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Vibratory Emesis Massage wristband (device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer pregnant women a simple, drug-free way to reduce severe nausea and vomiting at home.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-hospital study with no blinding, so results may not apply broadly. The device may not work for everyone or could cause mild skin irritation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Pregnant women diagnosed with emesis gravidarum or hyperemesis gravidarum. * Gestational age within the first, second, or third trimester (with a focus on those experiencing active nausea and vomiting symptoms). * Aged between 18 and 45 years. * Admitted to or receiving care at Prof. Dr. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Hospital, University of North Sumatra. * Willing to participate in the study and capable of providing written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant women with severe medical complications unrelated to hyperemesis (e.g., severe cardiovascular disease, active skin infections, or open wounds at the Pericardium 6 / P6 acupoint area on the wrist). * Patients receiving concurrent alternative non-pharmacological therapies for nausea and vomiting that could confound the study results. * Patients who are unable to complete the assigned 15-to-20-minute Vibratory Emesis Massage (MVE) sessions due to acute physical or cognitive distress. * Participants who choose to withdraw from the hospital treatment or study protocol before the post-test evaluation is completed.
