Studies were selected based on the following criteria, P: Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy; I: Complementary Alternative Medicine; C: Conventional approach or no complementary intervention; O: Reduction in the incidence of nausea and vomiting. The inclusion criteria for this study were articles published between 2020 and 2024, written in English, original articles, open access, and discussing complementary interventions for nausea and vomiting after chemotherapy. Exclusion criteria included review articles, protocol studies, and pilot studies. Article screening followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. All articles synthesized in this study underwent eligibility assessment by three researchers using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist 2020.
