[Orientation taping magnetic granules at auricular points and Neiguan (PC 6) for prevention and treatment of 102 cases of motion sickness].

OBJECTIVE

To observe therapeutic effect of orientation taping magnetic granules at auricular points and Neiguan (PC 6) on motion sickness.

METHODS

All 200 cases of motion sickness were divided into a treatment group (n = 102) and a control group (n = 98). The treatment group were treated with orientation taping magnetic granules at auricular points and Neiguan (PC 6), and the control group with oral administration of theohydramine.

RESULTS

There was a significant difference between the two groups in the total effective rate (P < 0.05), and clinical symptoms disappeared more rapidly in the treatment group as compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The therapeutic effect in the mild and moderate patients of the treatment group was better than that of the control group, and there was no significant difference in the therapeutic effect for the severe patients between the two groups. In the treatment group, the therapeutic effect of the mild patient was the best, the moderate patient was next and the severe patient was the worst, with a very significant difference (P < 0.005).

CONCLUSION

Orientation Taping magnetic granules at auricular points and Neiguan (PC 6) has an obvious therapeutic effect on motion sickness, with less adverse reactions.
