Summary
This study will investigate how two inhaled essential oil products (QueaseEASE and STILL) and a wearable transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device (ReliefBand) affect chronic nausea and anxiety in adults with longstanding nausea. The goal is to better understand the mechanisms by which these non-prescription therapies may influence nausea, anxiety, sleep, pain, autonomic symptoms, and bowel-related symptoms. Participants will first complete a 2-week baseline period during which nausea and other symptoms are assessed through questionnaires. Participants will then use the inhaled essential oil products as needed for 12 weeks while completing symptom surveys. Afterward, participants will use the ReliefBand wearable TENS device as needed for an additional 12 weeks and continue completing surveys. Researchers will compare symptom changes during the intervention periods with baseline measurements to better understand factors that contribute to chronic nausea and how these therapies may provide relief. Up to 250 participants may be enrolled to achieve approximately 100 participants completing both intervention phases
