Terms:
(1) Nausea = feeling sick to the stomach
(2) Vomiting = actually throwing up.
(3) Anticipatory
Parameters:
(1) nausea during or after chemotherapy
(2) vomiting during or after chemotherapy
(3) nausea prior to chemotherapy (anticipatory)
(4) vomiting prior to chemotherapy (anticipatory)
(5) medications
For each item the person is asked:
(1) how severe it was, scored from 1 (mild) to 6 (severe)
(2) duration, scored from 1 (short) to 7 (long)
Interpretation:
• I have not been able to identify a specific score calculated from the parameters. The instrument appears intended for monitoring changes in responses over time during trials of antiemetic agents.
Performance:
• Morrow and others have shown that the MANE is a valid instrument for use in anti-emetic studies of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
