What this trial measures

  • Overall WellbeingTwo week duration

    Is there an improvement in overall wellbeing as evidenced by a rate of change in nausea with the implementation of aromatherapy in pediatric patients on an inpatient rehabilitation unit? The Baxter Animated Retching Faces (BARF) scale will be used along with a patient diary where patients record how they are feeling. The BARF scale has 6 faces with assigned scores ranging from 0 to 10 with a score difference of 2 between each face (a higher score indicates more nausea).
