Official title
The Effect of Overnight Use of Electroacustimulation on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in the Outpatient Surgery Population
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting after outpatient surgery are significant sources of patient dissatisfaction. The prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) should be equally as important as prevention of pain because both are large sources of patient dissatisfaction and can necessitate admission after routine outpatient procedures. None of the currently available pharmacological interventions are able to totally abolish PONV. The use of electroacustimulation is a useful adjunct in prevention of PONV, but has yet to be studied when the patient takes the device home with them after leaving an outpatient facility.
