Efficacy of Inhaled Aromatherapy on Nausea and Vomiting in Hematological Malignancies

Summary

This project will optimise the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, with improvements in nausea and vomiting scores, quality of life and appetite expected in participants benefiting from the intervention.
