Zingiber officinale (ginger) contains a variety of compounds, including diarylheptanoids and the phenol gingerol. It has been used to treat motion sickness and other forms of nausea and vomiting, and may have some efficacy (1).

Data from the previous three randomized controlled trials on postoperative nausea were appropriate for meta-analysis. The pooled absolute risk reduction for the incidence of postoperative nausea proved the difference between the groups treated with ginger and placebo to lack significance. These values indicate a point of the number-needed-to-treat of 19 and a 95% confidence interval that also includes the possibility of no benefit (16).
