  Treatment
  Medication
  Medications that may alleviate the symptoms of airsickness include:
  meclozine
  dimenhydrinate
  diphenhydramine
  scopolamine (available in both patch and oral form).
  Pilots who are susceptible to airsickness are usually advised not to take anti-motion sickness medications (prescription or over-the-counter). These medications can make one drowsy or affect brain functions in other ways.
  Non-medication based
  A method to increase pilot resistance to airsickness consists of repetitive exposure to the flying conditions that initially resulted in airsickness.  In other words, repeated exposure to the flight environment decreases an individual's susceptibility to subsequent airsickness.
  The US Air Force and US Navy have an Air Sickness Management Program and use a device called a Barany chair to desensitize trainees over 3 days. This combined with progressive relaxation (diaphragmatic breathing and muscle tensing) yields a high success rate.
  The Italian Air Force also uses a similar spinning chair and psychologic relaxation techniques which yields an 82% long-term success rate, over a 10-day training period.
  Several devices have been introduced that are intended to reduce motion sickness through stimulation of various body parts (usually the wrist).
  Alternative medicine
  Alternative treatments include ginger and acupuncture, with variable effectiveness.
