While the Acuband was found difficult to use (0 untrained subjects used it correctly) and only a few minor usability issues were identified for the ReliefBand, usability had no impact on efficacy.

The only difference found between conditions was a potential delay in symptom onset for the ReliefBand compared with the Acuband. In all conditions, symptoms of motion sickness and gastric tachyarrhythmia increased, and 3 cpm gastric myoelectric activity decreased, during drum exposure. Symptoms and gastric myoelectric activity were monitored during baseline and rotation.

Trained subjects read the device directions and were trained to use the device appropriately prior to drum exposure. Untrained subjects read the device directions, used it as they deemed appropriate, and completed a usability analysis following drum exposure. Subjects were exposed to a 20-min baseline and a maximum of 20 min of optokinetic drum rotation. There were 77 subjects who were assigned to 1 of 5 conditions: Acuband trained or untrained ReliefBand trained or untrained or placebo. The Acuband and ReliefBand were used to administer acupressure and acustimulation, respectively.
