Objective: The effects of vitamin B and acupressure application combined with psychological adjuvant therapy on vomiting symptoms and mental health in pregnant women with severe vomiting. Methods: Study Type: Randomized Control Trial Duration of Study: Twelve Months from January 2019 to December 2019 Sampling Technique: The data has been collected from the subject index coming to the gynecology OPD of Gulab Devi Teaching Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. Control group: aged 20 to 37 years, with an average of (26.12±2.44) years; 8 to 17 weeks of gestation, with an average of (9.18±1.77) weeks. Sample Selection Inclusion Criteria: All persons who have 1) meet the diagnostic criteria for HG; 2) 20 to 40 years of age; 3) both signed informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: vomiting caused by medical diseases such as hydatidiform mole, gastrointestinal disease, viral hepatitis, cholecystitis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Gulab Devi Teaching hospital. Pregnant women who were enrolled were divided into control group and experimental group according to the random number table method, with 48 cases in each group. Study Tools: Questionnaire and Interview Sample size (n)=96. Results: After 7 days of treatment the effective percentage rate in the experimental group was higher as compare to the control group in terms of clinical efficacy, SAS and SDS scores, antiemetic and hospitalization time and cost was much lower and within limits in the experimental group as compare to control group. Discussion: In addition to physiological treatment such as fluid replacement, psychological treatment should not be ignored. Conclusion: vitamin B6 and acupressure application combined with psychological adjunctive treatment of HG had a significant effect and could significantly relieve pregnant women Anxiety, depression and promote the recovery of pregnant women.},
