Study Design: Double blind randomized controlled trial. Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ahvaz University, Razi Hospital. Material and Method: From January 2008 to April 2008, 70 pregnant women underwent for elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were randomized received coded drug one hour prior section with 30 ml water. The patients were at term, single pregnancy, uterine and abdominal incision transversal, and spinal anesthesia with lidocain 5%. Patients were matched in two groups by these factors: age, height, weight, BMI, cause of cesarean section, gestational age, hypotention during and after cesarean section, duration of operation and nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. All patients were assessed for severity of nausea by visual analog nausea score (VANS). Frequency of vomiting and need antiemetic drug were evaluated during and 0/5, 1, 2, 4, 6 hours after cesarean section. Results: The results demonstrated the statistically significant differences in severity of nausea and vomiting during cesarean section (p = 0/000). Severity of nausea (p = 0/000) and vomiting (0/046) after cesarean section also was lower in ginger group than placebo group. There were statistically significant differences between two groups for need antiemetic drug during (0/000) and after (0/003) cesarean section. This need was lower in ginger group than placebo group. Side effects caused by ginger were not detected. Conclusion: Ginger has efficacy in decrease severity of nausea and vomiting during and after cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.展开更多
