" Use of an acupressure wristband could help to relieve nausea in people with migraine headaches, a study has shown. Dr Zoltan Medgyessy, from the Berolina Clinic in Lohne, Germany, is presenting his latest findings at the International Headache Congress in the US this week (June 27th to 30th). His study involved 41 patients who had experienced an average of 33 days with migraine in the previous three months, with nausea typically rated as 6.2 on a scale of one to ten. Participants were given Sea-Band acupressure wristbands - which are typically worn to ease motion and morning sickness - instead of their usual antiemetic drugs. Dr Medgyessy found that 83 per cent of the patients experienced reduced nausea while wearing the acupressure wristbands. The average patient felt the benefits after 28 minutes of use and rated their nausea severity as just 2.9 out of ten after treatment. In addition, the vast majority (98 per cent) of patients said they would use the wristbands again in the future. &amp;#039;Acupressure wristbands are drug-free and that is an important advantage in using this therapy for migraine nausea, as they have no risks for interaction with migraine drugs or the side-effects commonly experienced with antiemetics, such as dizziness or tiredness,&amp;#039; Dr Medgyessy observed. He added that the findings represent an &amp;#039;important stride&amp;#039; toward improving patients&amp;#039; quality of life.
