The aim of this study was to determine the effects of ginger in nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.
This was a single blind clinical trial study.
The study was conducted in a selected prenatal care clinic of Isfahan City hospitals.
The subjects included 67 pregnant women who complained of nausea and vomiting from Isfahan city hospitals participated in the study.
The participants were randomly assigned to two groups, an experimental group and a control group. The groups were matched according to the age, gestational age, parity, occupational status, and educational level of the participants. The experimental group received ginger 250 mg capsules for 4 days, and the control group received placebo with the same prescription form.
Effects of treatment of nausea were evaluated twice daily for 4 days by a before-and-after treatment questionnaire.
The mean ages of the experimental and control groups were 24.1 +/- 4.8 and 23.3 +/- 5 years, respectively. The mean gestational age was 13 +/- 3 weeks, and the mean parity was 1.6 +/- 0.8. The ginger users demonstrated a higher rate of improvement than the placebo users did (85% versus 56%; p < 0.01). The decrease in vomiting times among ginger users was also significantly greater than among the women who received the placebo (50% versus 9%; p < 0.05).
A daily total of 1000 mg of ginger in a capsule preparation can be suggested by care providers as a means of decreasing pregnancy nausea and vomiting in women who tend to herbal medicines.
Ginger is an effective herbal remedy for decreasing nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
本研究旨在确定生姜对妊娠恶心和呕吐的影响。
这是一项单盲临床试验研究。
研究在伊斯法罕市医院选定的产前护理诊所进行。
受试者包括67名来自伊斯法罕市医院、主诉有恶心和呕吐症状的孕妇。
参与者被随机分为两组，即实验组和对照组。两组根据参与者的年龄、孕周、产次、职业状况和教育水平进行匹配。实验组服用250毫克生姜胶囊，持续4天，对照组服用相同剂型的安慰剂。
通过治疗前后问卷，在4天内每天评估两次恶心治疗效果。
实验组和对照组的平均年龄分别为24.1±4.8岁和23.3±5岁。平均孕周为13±3周，平均产次为1.6±0.8。服用生姜者的改善率高于服用安慰剂者（85%对56%；p<0.01）。服用生姜者呕吐次数的减少也显著大于服用安慰剂的女性（50%对9%；p<0.05）。
护理人员可建议每日服用总量为1000毫克的胶囊制剂生姜，作为减少倾向于使用草药的女性妊娠恶心和呕吐的一种方法。
生姜是减轻孕期恶心和呕吐的一种有效草药疗法。
