The Use of Complementary and Integrative Medicine in Combination With Pharmacological Antiemetics to Address Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Pediatric Oncology: A Scoping Review.

Chemotherapy is a common treatment in childhood cancer but causes significant side effects, among the most notable being nausea and vomiting, known as chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). Pharmacological antiemetics and complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) have been studied separately to manage CINV, but a gap exists in understanding their use together. We aimed to investigate the potential multimodal effects of CIM and pharmacological antiemetics on CINV in pediatric oncology patients undergoing chemotherapy.
