Combatting Seasickness with Electricity

Health Check

Available for over a year

Presenter Claudia Hammond is prone to feeling nauseous in the back of a car. She tries out an experimental treatment to prevent motion sickness which involves applying a weak electrical current to part of one side of her head. The test involves getting onto a spinning and tilting chair which is designed to make people feel ill. Qadeer Arshad and Michael Gresty of Imperial College London have developed the technique.
