Role of Ginger in management of nausea among patients receiving chemotherapy.
Objective: Cancer patients treated with chemotherapy often face variety of side effects, with nausea and vomiting being the most frequent. Ginger (Zingiber officinale), contains natural compounds that can speed up the metabolism and increase intestinal motility. It is traditionally used to treat gastrointestinal disorders. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of ginger in management of nausea among patients receiving chemotherapy.
Methods: This crossover interventional study was conducted to evaluate the role of ginger in management of nausea among patients receiving chemotherapy. Study was carried out at chemotherapy daycare of Shifa International Hospital Islamabad, with a sample size of 90 patients, using non-probability convenient sampling. Patients undergoing chemotherapy were given the dose of ginger (550 mg twice a day) for five consecutive days. On the next chemo cycle the same patients were given the placebo capsules of same color and weight for two times a day for five days. Patients and attendants were contacted for five days and being asked about post-chemotherapy nausea. Nausea and vomiting were measured by Rhodes scale.
Results: Results showed that Rhodes score of patients taking Ginger capsules was significantly lower than those taking placebo (p-value < 0.05) in all the five days.
Conclusion: Ginger significantly managed the nausea among patients receiving chemotherapy. Its natural antiemetic properties provide a convenient and safe way to reduce the post-chemotherapy nausea and vomiting.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
