Eghbali et al 22 revealed that aromatherapy with peppermint essential oil has led to a significant reduction in the severity of nausea during the acute phase of chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer.…”

“…We recruited a total of 84 patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy who met clinical inclusion criteria. We determined the study sample size using the formula of compare means t -test and G*Power tool, 15 and in accordance with the results of a study by Haddadi et al 9 in which the nausea mean scores ± standard deviation (SD) were 2.9 ± 1.78 and 1.96 ± 1.24 in the control and the experimental group, respectively. The minimum sample size for each group was calculated to be 34 with 95% confidence interval and 80% power.…”

“…Regarding the adverse effects and low efficacy of antiemetics used for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, 1 of the basic and low-risk measures to use is the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). 9 Based on the results of recent research, complementary medicine causes fewer side effects and cuts the treatment costs. It is also more effective, less invasive, and more accessible compared to other treatments.…”

Background and Objective: Nausea, vomiting, and anorexia are the most common side effects reported in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The present study aimed to determine the effect of peppermint extract on the severity of nausea, vomiting, and anorexia in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods and Materials: In this randomized controlled trial, we selected 84 patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. They were then assigned to 2 groups of experimental and control (n = 42, each) using block randomization. Patients in the experimental group received 40 drops of peppermint extract mixed in 20 cc of tap water every 8 hours, while patients in the control group received 40 drops of distilled water mixed in 20 cc of tap water every 8 hours. The severity of nausea, vomiting, and anorexia was measured and recorded before the intervention, and immediately, 24 and 48 hours after the chemotherapy using the Visual Analogue Scale. Statistical analysis of the data was conducted using SPSS software version 21. Results: The results of the present study revealed that there was a significant difference between the 2 groups at 24 and 48 hours after the chemotherapy ( P < .05), so that the mean score of the severity of nausea, vomiting, and anorexia in the experimental group was lower than in the control group ( P < .05). Conclusion: The use of peppermint as a method in complementary medicine may improve nausea, vomiting, and anorexia in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Further studies with greater sample size and longer follow-up period are needed to confirm the current findings.

“…Due to the limited effect and side effects of antinausea and vomiting drugs, one of the basic and low-risk measures is the use of complementary and alternative medicine [ 9 ]. Nonpharmacological methods to reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting include abdominal massage, aromatherapy, thought distraction, acupuncture, relaxation, and music therapy [ 10 , 11 ].…”

Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of abdominal massage with and without Salvia officinalis on nausea and vomiting in patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods. In this randomized clinical trial, 60 patients undergoing chemotherapy were placed in one of two intervention groups or in a control group. Abdominal massage with and without Salvia officinalis was performed for 15 minutes twice a day for 3 consecutive days by the patient’s companion. The rate of nausea and vomiting was measured with a Visual Analog Scale. Results. Findings showed that immediately after the intervention, the mean score of nausea in abdominal massage with Salvia officinalis group was lower than that of the control group. The mean score of nausea was not different between abdominal massage and control groups. One week after the intervention, the mean score of nausea was not different among the three groups. In addition, the frequency of vomiting was not different among the three groups. Conclusion. Abdominal massage with/without Salvia officinalis as a complementary medicine has not considerable effect on reducing nausea and vomiting in patient with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. More studies are needed to achieve better and more accurate results.
