BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy-induced @entity1209 (CINV) is among the most common and distressing symptoms experienced by @entity1 receiving @entity5 treatment. Nurses play a substantial role in the prevention and management of CINV. Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) is often advocated as beneficial for @entity1209 . Whether the herb is truly efficacious for this condition is, however, still a matter of debate. OBJECTIVES: This experimental randomized, controlled trial was done to assess the effect of ginger on chemotherapy-related @entity1209 . METHODS: All @entity1 in the study (N = 60) received standard antiemetic drugs. The @entity1 in the study group (n = 30) also received oral ginger for the first three days of the chemotherapy cycle. No intervention was performed in the control group (n = 30) except for the routine antiemetic treatment. @entity1209 and retching episodes were measured four times each day for the first five days of the chemotherapy cycle in the @entity1 diary. @entity390 severity was evaluated using a numeric scale ranging from 0 (no @entity390 ) to 10 (very severe @entity390 ). FINDINGS: The researchers analyzed the five-day mean score of @entity1209 and retching episodes. Based on this comparison, @entity1209 episodes were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (p > 0.05). However, the change in the number of retching episodes between the intervention and control groups was not statistically significant (p > 0.05).
