Acustimulation: Acustimulation is the mild electrical stimulation of acupuncture points to control symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. A low-intensity electrical current is used to penetrate just slightly below the surface of the skin. There is evidence from small but well-designed studies of seasickness and artificially-induced motion sickness (using laboratory equipment) indicating that acustimulation can reduce symptoms of nausea and vomiting. It may slow down, but not necessarily prevent, the development of motion sickness.

There is good evidence that wearing the ReliefBand ® helps reduce post-operative nausea and vomiting. The effect may be comparable to anti-nausea medications (dimenhyrinate) and may be enhanced when combined with medication. The ReliefBand ® is worn like a wristwatch on the inside of the wrist. It stimulates the nerves in the wrist with gentle electrical signals, which are believed to interfere with nausea-inducing messages between the brain and the stomach.
