Risultato
Misure di esito primarie
1. Mean difference in Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis (PUQE) score [First trimester of pregnancy]
PUQE score is a validated measure of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. It is a reliable tool used to measure the severity of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. It is a questionnaire that measures the number of times in 24 hours a patient wretches, vomits, or feels nauseous. The minimum score is 3, and the maximum is 15. Participants will have PUQE scores calculated at baseline (during enrollment in the first trimester of pregnancy, at whatever age they are at), and after one month of aromatherapy use with either essential oils or placebo, with the mean difference from baseline compared as primary outcome. The Time Frame for participation will be from enrollment until the end of the first trimester (13th week of pregnancy), which, depending on gestational age in weeks at enrollment, may be up to 8 weeks.
