What was measured

CIV = Chemotherapy-Induced Vomiting. Total Duration of Study includes both acute and delayed phases. Acute Phase - bands will be worn on each day of the chemotherapy course and for 24 hours after the last chemotherapy dose. Delayed Phase - Bands will continue to be worn for a maximum of 7 days or until the next chemotherapy cycle starts, whichever comes first. A breakthrough antiemetic agent is defined as a medication that is administered or taken in order to relieve or treat (rather than prevent) nausea or vomiting. An antiemetic agent that is prescribed and/or administered on an "as needed" basis is considered to be a breakthrough antiemetic. Complete CIV Control during the acute and delayed phases is defined as no emetic episodes and no breakthrough anti-emetic agents administered during the phase of interest. Partial CIV Control is defined as 1 or 2 emetic episodes in any 24 ho

Analysis population: The overall number of participants analyzed is 83 participants in Arm I and 82 participants in Arm II. In the acute phase, 165 patients provided at least 1 PeNAT (Pediatric Nausea Assessment Tool) score. In the delayed phase, 144 patients contributed at least 1 PeNAT score.

Groups in this outcome

Arm I- Real Acupressure Bands

Patients wear Sea-Band acupressure wristbands on each wrist beginning approximately 30 minutes prior to the first cisplatin-containing chemotherapy course and continually for 24 hours after the last chemotherapy dose (acute phase), and for a maximum of 7 days or until the next chemotherapy course starts (delayed phase). Patients are allowed to take bands off intermittently (up to 4 times a day, for no more than 15 minutes each time) to relieve pressure or to bathe. Patients also receive standard of care anti-emetic prophylaxis comprising granisetron, ondansetron, or dexamethasone during chemotherapy according to institutional or physician preference. Real Acupressure Band: Acupressure wristband

Arm II- Placebo Acupressure Bands

Patients wear placebo wristbands on each wrist and receive standard of care anti-emetic prophylaxis during chemotherapy as patients in arm I. Placebo Acupressure Band: Sham wristband
