Summary

Children, ages 8 - 17, will be enrolled in a research study about the impact of aromatherapy on nausea in the pediatric rehabilitation unit.

Detailed description

Children will participate in the study for two weeks. One week the child will receive a aromatherapy product for nausea and the other week the child will not receive the product. If this aromatherapy is effective at decreasing nausea, the child may be more likely to participate in their rehabilitation therapy sessions. Information gathered during the study may potentially benefit other patients by helping to develop hospital practices of using aromatherapy in the pediatric rehabilitation unit. Children participating in the study may or may not help the child but may help children in the future: 1. Children may have less nausea, which could help them feel better, more likely to participate in their rehabilitation activities, and may be able to take better care of themselves. 2. Children may have a reduction in the need for taking medications that help nausea. 3. The research may benefit children in the future by helping to develop hospital practices about using aromatherapy in pediatric rehabilitation.
