A double-blind, randomized controlled study of acupressure <I>vs</I> placebo was designed. Ninety-four patients scheduled for Caesarean section were included. The anaesthetic technique and postoperative analgesia were standardized. The use of acupressure reduced the incidence of nausea or vomiting from 53% to 23% compared with placebo (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.34&#150;0.25; <I>P=</I>0.002) during the operation and from 66% to 36% compared with placebo (95% CI 0.34&#150;0.19; <I>P=</I>0.003) after the operation. Other variables were similar between the groups.</P>",
