It's travel season. But if a queasy stomach keeps you at home, there's a high-tech solution for your nauseating problem.

Travel agent Pam Pfeiffer makes a living putting people on cruise ships and airplanes. But she's rather keep her own feet firmly on the ground. "I immediately get dizzy, and I start getting sick to my stomach," Pam says.

Like fifty million other Americans, Pam suffers motion sickness. "Even just simple things, you know, like riding in a car. Visually If I see anything move it will kind of start."

Now, there's a new option for calming waves of nausea. A "relief band," which looks a lot like a watchband. And what it does is it zaps the inside of your wrist with an electric current. Research suggests that it may actually shock an upset stomach back to near normal.

Doctors say movement like this actually triggers a vomit response in your brain. The problem is all in your head, even though you feel it in your stomach. "The central nervous system controls your whole body," says Dr. Fred Thanel, family physician.

All that zapping does give some people a sore wrist. Still, The FDA says the device is even safe enough to treat morning sickness during pregnancy.

After years of motion sickness, Pam Pfeifer says she's welcome the chance to toss her travel drugs and their side effects for good. "That way you can just travel and have fun and not have to worry."
