Ginger may be a potential remedy for nausea and vomiting. This review aimed to assess the reporting and methodological quality, and integrate the evidence in this field. A total of fifteen meta-analyses were analysed and met the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2009 guidelines, providing a relatively complete statement. However, methodological quality, assessed using the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews-2 checklist, was deemed critically low to low. Our review's findings support ginger's effectiveness in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. It also reduces postoperative nausea and vomiting severity, decreasing the need for rescue antiemetics. Furthermore, ginger shows promise in alleviating pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting symptoms. The pooled evidence suggests ginger as a safe botanical option for managing nausea and vomiting, but it is important to improve the scientific quality of published meta-analyses in the future.
姜可能是一种治疗恶心和呕吐的潜在药物。本综述旨在评估该领域的报告和方法学质量，并整合相关证据。共有 15 项荟萃分析符合系统评价和荟萃分析 2009 年首选报告项目的指南，提供了相对完整的陈述。然而，使用多系统评价评估-2 清单评估的方法学质量被认为是低到低临界。我们的综述结果支持姜在管理癌症患者化疗引起的恶心和呕吐方面的有效性。它还可以减轻术后恶心和呕吐的严重程度，减少对抢救性止吐药的需求。此外，姜在缓解妊娠相关的恶心和呕吐症状方面显示出一定的潜力。汇总证据表明，姜作为一种安全的植物选择，可用于治疗恶心和呕吐，但未来提高已发表荟萃分析的科学质量非常重要。
