Summary
Nausea and vomiting are common GI symptoms of pregnancy. Multiple managing options have been used for NVP. Doxylamine succinate is used as first line treatment for NVP despite that alternative modalities such as ginger extracts and tablets is being explored.
This RCT will be conducted after taking ethical approval and informed consent, in Department of Gynecology, Aziz Bhatti Shaheed teaching hospital, Gujrat. Patients will be divided into two equal groups. One group will receive tablet ginger while other group will receive Doxylamine succinate tablets. Baseline PUQE score (3- 15 point scale) over 24 hour will be noted according to symptoms of nausea and vomiting following 7 days of treatment and then at 2nd and 3rd week. Comparison of the change in the severity of nausea from baseline scores (Post-therapy PUQE score - base line scores) in both groups will be considered for results.
