Despite numerous existing systematic reviews and meta\u2010analyses (SRMs), findings remain inconsistent. Consequently, this study assesses the quality of these prior SRMs and investigates the efficacy of ginger as a treatment for NVP. A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Science from their inception through December 30, 2024. This review includes peer\u2010reviewed English\u2010language SRMs investigating ginger as a therapeutic intervention for pregnancy\u2010related nausea and vomiting. Methodological rigor was evaluated using the AMSTAR\u20102 checklist, while evidence quality was assessed via the GRADE approach. Findings are synthesized narratively through content analysis. The study protocol was prospectively registered in the PROSPERO database. This study analyzed 18 systematic reviews, of which eight (44%) incorporated meta\u2010analyses. The Rhodes Index of Nausea and Vomiting (RINV) emerged as the primary tool for evaluating outcomes. Regarding study reporting and transparency, seven studies registered their protocols in PROSPERO, while eight adhered to the PRISMA checklist. Overall, the included reviews demonstrated low methodological quality, with a mean score of 11.77. Specifically, 28% (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20095) were rated as high quality, 28% (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20095) as moderate, 22% (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20094) as low, and 22% (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20094) as critically low. Taking ginger supplements (usually between 450 and 1950\u2009mg daily) significantly decreases the severity and occurrence of nausea and vomiting compared to a placebo. This benefit is more noticeable for nausea than for vomiting, where the results are less consistent. Numerous studies have shown that ginger does not raise the risk of adverse effects, such as spontaneous abortion or side effects like heartburn and drowsiness, when compared to a placebo or vitamin B6. Current evidence clearly shows that ginger is a safe and effective treatment for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, with effectiveness similar to vitamin B6 and some traditional medications, and it has a good safety profile. Ginger can be recommended as a dependable medicinal herb for women dealing with NVP, though more research is needed to determine the best doses and confirm long\u2010term safety.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ptr.70405","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,20]],"date-time":"2026-06-20T06:37:16Z","timestamp":1781937436000},"page":"5538-5550","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Treatment of Nausea and Vomiting With\n                    <i>Zingiber officinale<\/i>\n                    in Pregnancy: An Umbrella Review of Systematic Reviews With Meta\u2010Synthesis"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7072-7454","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zoya","family":"Tahergorabi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, School of Medicine, Geriatric Health Research Center Birjand University of Medical Sciences  Birjand Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1447-6945","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mahdi","family":"Eslami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Persian Medicine, School of Medicine Birjand University of Medical Sciences  Birjand Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7223-6707","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Morteza","family":"Arab\u2010Zozani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Determinants of Health Research Center Birjand University of Medical Sciences  Birjand Iran"},{"name":"Iranian Research Network for Social Determinants of Health (IRNSDH)  Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_17_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18311\/jnr\/2017\/18012"},{"key":"e_1_2_17_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nu12010157"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_17_4_1","first-page":"14","article-title":"Is Ginger a Clinically Relevant Antiemetic?
