Motion sickness is a disturbance of the inner ear. It is the result of repeated motion from a vehicle or other movements that disturb the inner ear.
Some people experience nausea and even vomiting when riding in an airplane, automobile, or amusement park ride. One study, published in PloS one in 2013, suggested that 3-D movies can also cause nausea.
This condition is generally called motion sickness. When riding on a boat or ship, it is commonly referred to as sea sickness – but it is the same disorder.
•There is no difference between motion sickness and sea sickness.
•Individuals and animals without a functional vestibular (balance) system are immune to motion sickness.
•Without the motion-sensing organs of the inner ear, motion sickness does not occur, suggesting that the inner ear is important in motion sickness.
Motion is sensed by the brain through different pathways of the nervous system including the inner ear, the eyes, and the tissues of the body surface.
When the body is moved intentionally, for example when walking, the input from all of the pathways are coordinated by our brain.
The symptoms of motion sickness appear when the central nervous system receives conflicting messages from the sensory systems: the inner ear, eyes, skin pressure receptors, and the muscle and joint sensory receptors.
As an example, if someone is sat on a boat or in a car (not looking out of a window), their inner ears sense movement up and down, left and right, but their eyes see a static view, as if they are not moving at all. It is hypothesized that the conflict among the inputs is responsible for motion sickness.
Serious symptoms include:
•nausea
•vomiting
•pallor
•sweating
•drooling
Most cases of motion sickness are mild and self-treatable.
Very severe cases, and those that become progressively worse, deserve the attention and care of a physician with special skill in diseases of the ear, balance (equilibrium), and nervous system.
The distressing symptoms of motion sickness usually stop when the motion causing it ceases. But this is not always true. There are people who suffer symptoms for even a few days after the trip is over. Most people who have had motion sickness in the past ask their doctor how to prevent it next time. The following remedies may help:
Looking at the horizon
One common suggestion is to simply look out of the window of the moving vehicle and to gaze toward the horizon in the direction of travel. This helps to re-orient the inner sense of balance by providing a visual reaffirmation of motion.
Keeping eyes closed and napping
In the night, or in a ship without windows, it is helpful to simply close one’s eyes, or if possible, take a nap. This resolves the input conflict between the eyes and the inner ear.
Chewing
Here are some important tips for preventing motion sickness:
•Always sit in a position so that the eyes can see the same motion that the body and inner ear feels.
•In a car, sit in the front seat and look at the distant scenery.
•On a boat, go up on the deck and watch the motion of the horizon.
•In an airplane, sit by the window and look outside. Also, in a plane, choose a seat over the wings where the motion is minimized.
•Do not read while traveling if experiencing motion sickness, and do not sit in a seat facing backward.
