The study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of inhalation use of ginger and peppermint on postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing thyroidectomy surgery. After the approval of the ethics committee and institutional permission, 81 patients who applied to the general surgery clinic for thyroidectomy between 1 December 2020 and 1 December 2021 and met the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Within the scope of the planned study, the sample size in the light of the reported academic studies was determined as effect size d = 0.40 (effect size), α = 0.05 (margin of error), 1-β = 0.90 (Power) and by using the G-power package program with the specified criteria. It was decided to recruit 81 people (27 people per 3 group). Block randomization method will be used to determine the experimental and control groups. In order for the groups to be distributed homogeneously, the order produced by a computer program (https://www.randomizer.org/) will be used. Randomization will be done by a biostatistician outside the researcher. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the study will be assigned to the experimental and control groups according to the randomization list. Before the operation, the patient will be visited and information will be given about the purpose, content and intervention to be applied. After obtaining verbal and written permission from the patients who accepted to participate in the study, the "Informed Consent" will be filled in the "Patient Identification form. On the day of surgery, "surgical intervention information will be filled in by the researcher. In the postoperative period at the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 12th and 24th hours, the patient will use ginger and peppermint oil as inhalation. At the end of the 24th hour, the application will be terminated. In the control group, no application will be made during and after the surgical intervention, and routine treatment and care will be applied. After admission to the clinic of the patients in the experimental and control groups, the severity of pain, nausea and vomiting, the number of nausea-vomiting at the 2nd, 6th, 12th and 24th hours, the name, dose, frequency and time of the antiemetic drugs used were determined by the researcher.

Placebo in Acupuncture

NauseaVomiting

Placebo control in acupuncture research is challenging and difficult. The primary objective of the study is to explore a study design comparing stimulation by real acupuncture needle, sham acupuncture needle and laser. The research question is whether a patient is capable of discriminate different stimulation modality when studying acupuncture stimulation for nausea in early pregnancy. The study is planned as a pilot study including 20 women in each of the three study groups, all-together 60 pregnant women. Intervention will consist of standardised 15 minutes stimulation of acupuncture point pericardium 6 by, either two acupuncture needles, two sham acupuncture needle or two laser devices. All participating women are told that they will get different stimulation at an acupuncture point with potential effect on nausea. The women will record their daily symptoms during a 4 day run-in period, a 3 day intervention period, and thereafter a 4 day follow-up period after treatment in accordance with previous research methodology. In addition, the women will record how they experience the three different stimulations of acupuncture points. The results from the study could be important for planning of future studies where the blinding issue with regard to acupuncture is challenged.
