Abstract in brief

  • Cochrane reviews show that stimulating the acupuncture point P6 can help reduce nausea and vomiting in various situations like post-surgery, chemotherapy, and pregnancy, with the strongest and most consistent evidence for postoperative cases.
  • Methods of stimulation, whether invasive or noninvasive, appear similarly effective, and P6 stimulation has been found to be better than some antiemetic drugs for nausea, though it’s about as effective for vomiting.
  • However, the overall added benefit of P6 stimulation over modern antiemetics isn't clear, and future research should focus on patients who don’t respond to current treatments, especially those undergoing chemotherapy.]
