Electro-stimulation of K1 did not result in initial prevention of nausea and vomiting induced by CDDP or OXA when combined with antiemetics. However, electro-stimulation of K1 combined with antimetics was more effective than antimetics and placebo electro-stimulation in reducing incidence of vomiting once it had developed and improved performance status of patients after undergoing platinum-based chemotherapy via transcatheter arterial infusion.
