Nausea and vomiting are complex symptoms related to many disease processes. With many pharmacologic interventions noted to have adverse effects, many patients are turning to alternative therapies, including acupuncture and acupressure. Their efficacy has been proven for nausea and vomiting related to pregnancy, in patients receiving chemotherapy, and in postoperative, pediatric, and female patients. There are minimal to no side effects with the use of acupuncture and acupressure for the treatment of nausea and vomiting. Providers should be encouraged to discuss the efficacy, benefits, and side-effect profile of acupuncture and acupressure with patients who suffer from nausea and vomiting.
恶心和呕吐是与许多疾病过程相关的复杂症状。由于许多药物干预措施都有不良反应，许多患者正在转向替代疗法，包括针灸和穴位按压。它们在治疗与妊娠相关的恶心和呕吐、接受化疗的患者以及术后、儿科和女性患者的恶心和呕吐方面已被证明有效。针灸和穴位按压治疗恶心和呕吐的副作用极小或没有。应鼓励提供者与患有恶心和呕吐的患者讨论针灸和穴位按压的疗效、益处和副作用情况。
