Acupressure at acupoint P6 for prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting: a randomised clinical trial.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Previous studies have shown that general anaesthetic agents modulate the production of hypothalamic prostaglandins (PG) D2 and E2, which are mediators of sleep and wakefulness respectively. Although flurbiprofen, a cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor, is used clinically as a non-steroidal anti-inflammato...
