Nausea is the most commonly reported side effect of the class of drugs collectively known as glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA). GLP-1RAs are FDA approved to treat Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Obesity. Sea-Band is an FDA-cleared set of drug-free elastic wristbands used for nausea relief in several indications including motion sickness, morning sickness in pregnancy, post-operative nausea, chemotherapy associated nausea in persons ages 3 years old and up. The elastic wristbands have a plastic skin facing knob that apples pressure to an acupressure point called pericardium 6 (P6) located below the crease of the wrist. We hypothesize that Sea-Band can alleviate nausea in persons taking GLP-1RA. Participants on GLP-1RA medication with nausea were offered a set of Acupressure wristbands, and followed for four weeks. Weekly touch points assessed the response to nausea relief of the bands. Eligibility for the study included Adults taking GLP-1RA experiencing nausea.
