Pregnancy Induced Nausea and Vomiting (PINV)
PINV, more commonly referred to as “morning sickness”, affects more than 80% of over 6 million women who become pregnant in the U.S. each year. Many women, however, experience nausea and vomiting all day long.
Usually, the symptoms are present during the first trimester of pregnancy but in a large number of women, they can continue throughout the entire pregnancy. Morning sickness can have a serious impact on the quality of life and the health of not only the mother but also the developing fetus.
Other than diet modification, there have been few options available for the treatment of nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy, and no treatments with FDA clearance. Many doctors, and a growing number of patients, avoid medications due to unknown effects and risks to the health of the fetus and safety to the mother during pregnancy.
The RBMD™ has received FDA clearance as a Prescription (Rx) device for the treatment of Nausea and Vomiting due to Pregnancy.
