Vomiting triggers can come from various forms of activities (car ride, pregnancy, medication).

The vomiting center becomes activated and sends signals to the gastrointestinal tract.

The gastrointestinal tract receives the signals, contracts abnormally, and causes vomiting.

Advanced TEAS Targeted Neuromodulation

TEAS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation, the advanced targeted neuromodulation technology at the core of EmeTerm. Designed as a non-invasive, device-based approach, it delivers targeted electrical stimulation through a wearable wristband format for drug-free nausea support.

EmeTerm delivers gentle electrical impulses through the electrodes on the underside of the wrist, stimulating the median nerve at the P6 area.

The stimulation signals travel along neural pathways toward the brainstem, helping modulate activity in the vomiting center of the medulla oblongata.

By modulating the vomiting center, EmeTerm may help reduce signals sent through the vagus nerve to the gastrointestinal system, relieving nausea and vomiting.

Clinical Evidence You Can Trust for Nausea Relief

In a randomized clinical trial published in JAMA Surgery, EmeTerm showed superior control of moderate to severe postoperative nausea and vomiting, with a 77.6% 2-hour remission rate and a 12.2% 24-hour relapse rate.
