Research Abstract

We investigated the effect of P6 pressure for emesis of pregnancy/nausea gravidarum through autonomic nervous activity and the anxiety of pregnant female. The result indicated possibility of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous activity was elevated by P6 pressure. In addition, alleviation of emesis of pregnancy/nausea gravidarum led to regression of relief of anxiety.
