Official title Evaluating Whether a Nausea Band Reduces Symptoms in Those With Chronic Nausea Vomiting
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07720323
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study wants to find out if using the EmeTerm device reduces how often and how long people feel moderate to severe nausea, and if it helps with vomiting, stomach pain, bloating, constipation, appetite, sleep, mood, stress, fatigue, and overall quality of life.
- Who it's for
- Adults who have had nausea for at least two months and are receiving care at The Ohio State University.
- What's involved
- Participants will first fill out a screening survey and give electronic consent. They will then record their symptoms for two weeks to establish a baseline. After that, they will receive the EmeTerm device and use it for 12 weeks while continuing to log daily symptoms. They will also complete weekly and monthly surveys about their symptoms, stress, sleep, appetite, fatigue, quality of life, anxiety, depression, and any side effects.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts about 14 weeks: 2 weeks of baseline recording followed by 12 weeks of device use, with weekly and monthly surveys during that time.
