Treatment may include behavioral measures or medications. Behavioral measures Behavioral measures to decrease<unk>  include holding the head still and lying on the back. Focusing on the horizon may also be useful. Listening to music, mindful breathing, being the driver, and not reading while moving are other techniques. Habituation is the most effective technique but requires significant time. It is often used by the military for pilots. These techniques must be carried out at least every week to retain effectiveness. A head-worn, computer device with a transparent display can be used to mitigate the effects of<unk>  (and spatial disorientation) if visual indicators of the wearer’s head position are shown. Such a device functions by providing the wearer with digital reference lines in their field of vision that indicate the horizon’s position relative to the user’s head. This is accomplished by combining readings from accelerometers and gyroscopes mounted in the device. This technology has been implemented in both standalone devices and Google Glass. In two NIH-backed studies, greater than 90% of people experienced a reduction in the symptoms of<unk>  while using this technology. One promising looking treatment is to wear LCD shutter glasses that create a stroboscopic vision of 4 Hz with a dwell of 10 milliseconds. Medication Three types of medications are useful: antimuscarinics such as scopolamine, H1 antihistamines such as dimenhydrinate, and amphetamines such as dexamphetamine. Benefits are greater if used before the onset of symptoms or shortly after symptoms begin. Side effects, however, may limit the use of medications. A number of medications used for nausea such as ondansetron and metoclopramide are not effective in<unk> . Scopolamine is the most effective medication. Evidence is best for when it is used preventatively. It is available as a skin patch. Side effects may include blurry vision. Other effective first generation antihistamines include meclizine, promethazine, cyclizine, and cinnarizine. In pregnancy meclizine and dimenhydrinate are generally felt to be safe. Side effects include sleepiness. Second generation antihistamines have not been found to be useful. Dextroamphetamine may be used together with an antihistamine or an antimuscarinic. Concerns include their addictive potential. Those involved in high-risk activities, such as SCUBA diving, should evaluate the risks versus the benefits of medications. Promethazine combined with ephedrine to counteract the sedation is known as "the Coast Guard cocktail". Alternative medicine Alternative treatments include acupuncture and ginger although their effectiveness against<unk>  is variable. Providing smells does not appear to have a significant effect on the rate of<unk> .
