Abstract in brief

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effectiveness and safety of orally administered ginger for treating pregnancy-associated nausea and vomiting (NVP), finding that ginger significantly relieves nausea but not vomiting episodes.
The analysis included 12 randomized controlled trials with 1278 pregnant women, showing that ginger does not increase the risk of spontaneous abortion or cause common side effects like heartburn and drowsiness.
The results suggest that ginger could be a helpful alternative treatment for NVP, especially at lower doses (around 1500 mg daily), although further research is needed due to the limited number of studies and variability in results.]
