Reliefband

The Reliefband is a wearable device designed to alleviate nausea and vomiting through non-invasive neuromodulation. It uses patented, FDA-cleared technology to stimulate the median nerve on the underside of the wrist. This stimulation sends signals through the nervous system to the brain, which then communicates with the stomach to reduce nausea symptoms.

This device is effective for various types of nausea, including those associated with motion sickness, migraines, anxiety, morning sickness, chemotherapy, and post-operative recovery. It offers a drug-free solution, making it suitable for individuals who prefer to avoid medication or experience side effects from traditional anti-nausea drugs.

Reliefband is fast-acting, providing relief within minutes, and its effects can last for several hours. It is safe for use by pregnant women and does not interfere with other medications. Originally developed for hospital use, it is now available over-the-counter, offering a clinically proven method to manage nausea in everyday settings.

The provided evidence supports Reliefband as an FDA-cleared neuromodulation device for nausea and vomiting. The strongest support is for motion sickness, with official indications also covering morning sickness associated with pregnancy, chemotherapy-related nausea, and adjunct use for postoperative nausea. Claims about broader uses such as anxiety, hangovers, migraines, or zero side effects are less well supported or are marketing-forward relative to the evidence provided.
