Abstract To explore the effect of the external application of minced ginger on Neiguan acupoint combined with fluid infusion for treating pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) to relieve their nausea and vomiting symptoms. Methods: A total of 80 pregnant women with HG were selected and were randomly divided into two groups (40 cases in each group) from April 2020 to March 2021. The women in the control group were given intravenous infusion treatment and routine nursing, and the women in the study group were given the external application of minced ginger on Neiguan acupoint additionally. The treatment effect of the women was compared between the two groups. Results: The PUQE score (5.5±2.1) of the women in 48 and 72h after treatment in the study group was significantly lower than that (6.7±2.0) of the women in the control group (P<0.05). The time of urine ketone bodies turning negative and the time of hospital stay (2.3±1.1 d and 4.6±1.4 d) of the women in the study group were significantly shorter than those(3.2±1.6 d and 5.5±1.9 d) of the women in the control group (P<0.05). The scores of depression and anxiety (36.7±4.1 and 39.3±3.2) of the women in the study group were significantly lower than those (47.0±3.5 and 45.0±2.8) of the women in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: External application of minced ginger on Neiguan acupoint combined with fluid infusion for treating pregnant women with HG has better clinical effectiveness.
