Ginger versus anti-nausea medicine for pregnancy sickness
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares a ginger tablet to a common anti-nausea medicine (doxylamine succinate) to see which works better for controlling nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy. If you are in your first trimester and experiencing these symptoms, this trial may help you find a safe and effective option.
