简要总结
This study evaluates the effects of essential oils on nausea, vomiting, and quality of life scores among pregnant women. Participants will receive either an essential oil roll-on product or a placebo product to apply to their temples and jaw line daily for 6 days.
详细描述
The inhalation of certain essential oils has been found to reduce feelings of nausea and to improve quality of life during pregnancy.
The essential oils used in this study are applied topically to the temples and jaw line every 4-6 waking hours over a 6-day period. Each application will produce an exposure that lasts up to 30-45 minutes before fading. At the end of each day, nausea and vomiting levels will be assessed using a validated measurement instrument.
Quality of life is measured using a 30-question tool that measures both pregnancy-related quality of life and pregnancy-induced nausea and vomiting.

Change from Nausea and Vomiting 6-part Quantification of Emesis scale
时间窗: daily for 6 days
Nausea and vomiting are measured once per day using the 6-item Quantification of Emesis 24-hour scale (PUQE) scale. This scale includes 3 questions which are ranked on a scale of 1-5, with higher scores indicating higher levels of pregnancy-induced nausea and vomiting. The other 3 questions are open-ended questions which ask participants about perceived well-being.
