11/13/2019 - "Acupuncture at P6 showed uncertain evidence regarding the successful completion of dental procedure (RR 1.78, 95% CI 1.05 to 3.01; two trials, 59 participants; very low-certainty evidence) and uncertain evidence regarding the reduction in gagging (RR 2.57, 95% CI 1.12 to 5.89; one trial, 26 participants; very low-certainty evidence) in comparison to sham acupuncture. "
10/01/2015 - "Reduction in gagging as reported by the participant also showed no difference between acupuncture at P6 and sham acupuncture (MD 0.86, 95% CI -1.13 to 2.85). "
10/01/2015 - "Reduction in gagging as reported by the assessor showed no difference between acupuncture at P6 and sham acupuncture at any stage (stage 1: MD 0.40, 95% CI -0.12 to 0.93; stage 2: MD 0.49, 95 % CI -0.26 to 1.24; stage 3: MD 0.67, 95% CI -0.18 to 1.53). "
12/01/2003 - "The acupuncture group experienced significantly less gagging than the sham group (p = 0.037) or the nonacupuncture group (p = 0.013). "
11/13/2019 - "Acupressure using a sea band with or without sedation showed no clear difference in completing dental procedure (RR 0.88, 95% CI 0.67 to 1.17; one trial, 21 participants; very low-certainty evidence; and RR 1.80, 95% CI 0.63 to 5.16; one trial, 19 participants; very low-certainty evidence; respectively), or reduction in gagging (RR 0.88, 95% CI 0.67 to 1.17; one trial, 21 participants; very low-certainty evidence; and RR 2.70, 95% CI 0.72 to 10.14; one trial, 19 participants; very low-certainty evidence; respectively) when compared to sham acupressure with or without sedation.

1. Enteral Nutrition (Feeding, Tube)
2. Acupressure (Shiatsu)
3. Sutures (Suture)
4. Anesthesia
03/01/1999 - "The efficacy of anesthesia was scored by the patient reaction (coughing or gagging) to instrumentation in the pharynx, at the glottis, and in the trachea; to passage of the tracheal tube into the trachea; and to the presence of the tube in the trachea. "
05/01/2020 - "After post-anesthesia wretching/gagging episode she developed device microdislodgement and increased/intolerable capture thresholds. "
04/01/2011 - "As crying and attempting to cry are similar, we propose that at least two of the following five behaviors are present to consider a neonate awake after anesthesia: (i) crying or attempting to cry, (ii) vigorous limb movements, (iii) gagging on a tracheal tube, (iv) eyes open, and (v) looking around. "
02/01/2012 - "At the α level following Bonferroni correction, LMA showed less coughing or gagging during the anesthesia phase for all surgeries combined (48% for ETT vs. 20% for LMA; χ(2) = 10.153, P = .002), and for ETT nontonsillectomy vs. LMA nontonsillectomy (48% for ETT vs. 3% for LMA; χ(2) = 15.196, P = .000), spontaneous ventilation was used more often in the LMA group when comparing all surgeries (χ(2) = 19.493, P = .000), and when comparing ETT tonsillectomy and LMA tonsillectomy (χ(2) = 11.131, P = .000). "
04/01/1999 - "Dental patients who may benefit from office-based anesthesia include patients undergoing stressful procedures, fearful patients, medically or behaviorally challenged patients, young children, and patients with a history of gagging or local anesthesia problems. "
