Methods Select patients from January 2024 to May 2025 in the gynecology ward of our hospital A total of 60 patients with morning sickness during early pregnancy were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 30 patients in each group. The control group was given routine morning sickness care measures, while the observation group was treated with plum blossom acupuncture on the forehead and temporal meridians (once a day) based on the diagnosis and treatment of Zhuang medicine. Ginger juice was also applied to the Neiguan acupoint (once a day).

The weight of the observation group increased by an average of (1.4 ± 0.5) kg compared to before the intervention, which was better than that of the control group (0.6 ± 0.4) kg (P<0.05). Nursing satisfaction significantly improved (93.3% vs 70.0%, χ ²=4.32, P=0.038), and no significant adverse reactions were observed during the intervention period in both groups.
