Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
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.
