Combo Treatment Eases Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy

A multicenter randomized controlled trial has provided more evidence that acupuncture and doxylamine-pyridoxine (Diclegis/Diclectin) are modestly effective for the nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP). While the benefit of either agent was clinically small for moderate to severe symptoms, the combination showed numerically larger and potentially more meaningful benefit, according to a team led by Xiao-Ke Wu, MD, PhD, of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at First Affiliated Hospital, Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine, and Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital in Harbin, China.
