The review investigated the effect of a fixed-dose of 1 g or more of ginger on the incidence of 24-hour post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The review concluded that ginger reduced the incidence of PONV in patients undergoing gynaecological or lower extremity surgery. The conclusion appears to follow from the data presented, although it may not be representative of all patient subgroups.
