This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy is a vexing problem for patients and providers. Patients have a strong desire to limit medication use during this period of embryogenesis. Recent evidence has demonstrated the importance of olfaction in the pathogenesis of this disease, with decreased risk of nausea reported in women with anosmia. Volatile oils such as coffee and perfume appear to be especially important triggers. Although it may seem counterintuitive to use a volatile oil in this setting, this olfactory sensitivity may work in reverse as well, with some volatile oils improving rather than triggering symptoms. The proposed study is a double-blind placebo controlled trial of aromatherapy for the treatment of nausea during pregnancy. The relevance of this study is underscored by the common utilization of these therapies despite the lack of controlled trials.

该子项目是利用 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者 (PI) 可能已从另一个 NIH 来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中出现。列出的机构是中心的机构，不一定是研究者的机构。怀孕期间的恶心和呕吐对于患者和提供者来说都是一个令人烦恼的问题。在胚胎发生期间，患者强烈希望限制药物的使用。最近的证据表明嗅觉在这种疾病发病机制中的重要性，据报道患有嗅觉丧失的女性恶心风险降低。咖啡和香水等挥发性油似乎是特别重要的触发因素。尽管在这种情况下使用挥发油似乎违反直觉，但这种嗅觉敏感性也可能起到相反的作用，一些挥发油会改善而不是引发症状。 拟议的研究是芳香疗法治疗妊娠期间恶心的双盲安慰剂对照试验。尽管缺乏对照试验，但这些疗法的普遍使用强调了这项研究的相关性。
