Efficacy of acupressure and acustimulation bands for the prevention of motion sickness.

RESULTS: In all conditions, symptoms of motion sickness and gastric tachyarrhythmia increased, and 3 cpm gastric myoelectric activity decreased, during drum exposure. The only difference found between conditions was a potential delay in symptom onset for the ReliefBand compared with the Acuband. While the Acuband was found difficult to use (0 untrained subjects used it correctly) and only a few minor usability issues were identified for the ReliefBand, usability had no impact on efficacy. DISCUSSION: Neither band nor placebo prevented the development of motion sickness, regardless of whether the bands were used correctly or incorrectly.
