The efficacy of SeaBands for the control of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy.
Twenty-seven pregnant women (5-22 weeks gestation) participated in a study to determine the efficacy of SeaBands for the control of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP). NVP was reduced by 50% for these women. SeaBands are more effective if applied early in the symptom experience; less if applied late. SeaBands have considerable potential for a drug-free and noninvasive approach to control NVP.
