Aromatherapy Versus Oral Ondansetron for Antiemetic Therapy Among Adult Emergency Department Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

April et al1 conducted an intriguing trial comparing aromatherapy with ondansetron in adult emergency department (ED) patients with nausea.

It was unexpected to see aromatherapy reported as outperforming a known, potent antiemetic. On close review, we have identified some methodological issues that may have influenced the results and conclusions drawn.
