Problem:As any long distance traveler knows, a journey can be especially unpleasant when motion sickness sets in. But new research holds the promise of putting that queasy, nauseous feeling to an end. 
  
 "We don't know what currently causes motion sickness," Dr. Qadeer Arshad, the lead researcher from the Department of Medicine at Imperial College London told CBS News. "It's thought to be due to a conflict between what the eye perceives as motion and what the ears perceive as motion." 
  
 So researchers set out to determine whether suppressing a signal from the inner ear to the brain, via a mild electrical current applied to the scalp, could be effective in alleviating the condition. 
  
 First they had to produce the symptoms in a panel of twenty intrepid volunteers. 
  
 Each volunteer was strapped into a motorized chair. The chair was rotated and tilted in order to simulate the motions that tend to make people sick on boats or roller coasters. 
  
 ""It can make you very sick, very quickly," said Arshad. And in fact, it did -- all of the volunteers felt sick. They reported the time it took for the symptoms to kick in. 
  
 After they recovered, the volunteers wore a cap with electrodes on their heads. One group received treatment with the mild electrical current; then they took a ride in the chair for a second time.

 The result: those who received treatment "lasted a significantly longer amount of time before the sickness started to develop," Arshad explained. They also recovered "significantly quicker" than they had before. 
  
 The study, published today in the journal Neurology, shows that a mild electrical current applied to the scalp can dampen responses in an area of the brain that is responsible for processing motion signals, according to a press release from the college. This helps the brain deal with the confusing inputs it receives, and can prevent the problem that causes motion sickness. 
  
 Motion sickness can affect almost anyone, with about a third of people experiencing symptoms like dizziness and severe nausea that are hard to bear, the researchers say. There are medications to treat the condition, such as scopolamine or dimenhydrinate (Dramamine), but they can have drawbacks. 
  
 "The problem with treatments for motion sickness is that the effective ones are usually tablets that also make people drowsy," said Professor Michael Gresty from Imperial College, who collaborated on the study, in a statement. "That's all very well if you are on a short journey or a passenger, but what about if you work on a cruise ship and need to deal with motion sickness whilst continuing to work?" 
  
 In contrast, the research team says the experimental treatment is as effective as the best medication available, with no apparent side effect. 
  
 But it will take some time before practical applications are developed. Arshad envisions within five to ten years, people will be able to buy an anti-seasickness device at the drugstore. 
  
 "We hope it might even integrate with a mobile phone, which would be able to deliver the small amount of electricity required via the headphone jack," said Arshad in a statement. "You would temporarily attach small electrodes to your scalp before travelling -- on a cross channel ferry, for example." ||||| The misery of motion sickness could be ended within five to ten years thanks to a new treatment being developed by scientists. 
  
 The cause of motion sickness is still a mystery but a popular theory among scientists says it is to do with confusing messages received by our brains from both our ears and eyes, when we are moving. 
  
 It is a very common complaint and has the potential to affect all of us, meaning we get a bit queasy on boats or rollercoasters. However, around three in ten people experience hard-to-bear motion sickness symptoms, such as dizziness, severe nausea, cold sweats, and more. 
  
 We are confident that within five to ten years people will be able to walk into the chemist and buy an anti-seasickness device. – Dr Qadeer Arshad 
  
 Research from Imperial College London, published today (4 September) in the journal Neurology, shows that a mild electrical current applied to the scalp can dampen responses in an area of the brain that is responsible for processing motion signals. Doing this helps the brain reduce the impact of the confusing inputs it is receiving and so prevents the problem that causes the symptoms of motion sickness. 
  
 This technique offers a safe and effective intervention that is likely to be available for anyone to buy, in the future. 
  
 Dr Qadeer Arshad from the Department of Medicine at Imperial College London led the research. He said: “We are confident that within five to ten years people will be able to walk into the chemist and buy an anti-seasickness device. It may be something like a tens machine that is used for back pain. 
  
 "We hope it might even integrate with a mobile phone, which would be able to deliver the small amount of electricity required via the headphone jack. In either case, you would temporarily attach small electrodes to your scalp before travelling – on a cross channel ferry, for example.” 
  
 Simulating seasickness 
  
 In the study, volunteers wore electrodes on their heads for about 10 minutes. They were then asked to sit in a motorised rotating chair that also tilts to simulate the motions that tend to make people sick on boats or rollercoasters. Following the treatment, they were less likely to feel nauseous and they recovered more quickly. 
  
 Professor Michael Gresty from Imperial College who collaborated in this study and is a world expert on motion sickness said: “The problem with treatments for motion sickness is that the effective ones are usually tablets that also make people drowsy. That’s all very well if you are on a short journey or a passenger, but what about if you work on a cruise ship and need to deal with motion sickness whilst continuing to work? 
  
 “We are really excited about the potential of this new treatment to provide an effective measure to prevent motion sickness with no apparent side effects. The benefits that we saw are very close to the effects we see with the best travel sickness medications available.” 
  
 Multiple benefits 
  
 The research team are already beginning to talk to partners in industry about developing the device. In particular, there is interest from the military for various aspects of their work. This might include helping people who are remotely controlling drones using a visual interface that can lead to nausea. 
  
 Dr Arshad said: “From other studies we also have evidence that stimulating the brain in this way can enhance attention and concentration. This aspect is of great interest to the military and we imagine that other groups such as students and people who spend long periods playing computer games will also want to try it out. 
  
 “The currents involved are very small and there is no reason to expect any adverse effects from short term use.”

Solution:
Motion sickness is, some scientists think, caused by conflicting messages that our ears and eyes send to our brain when we are in motion. In three out of 10 of us, it can be downright debilitating, resulting in cold sweats, dizziness, severe nausea, and more. But now researchers at Imperial College London are reporting in the journal Neurology that they've built a device that can essentially trick the brain into not being confused via a mild electrical current delivered through the scalp. Not only did it help the volunteers in the study feel less sick when placed in a rotating chair that can "make you very sick, very quickly," lead researcher Dr. Qadeer Arshad tells CBS News, but it can even be preventative, and all without adverse effects. Arshad is so confident in his team's findings that he predicts the device will be ready in five to 10 years, and that the misery of motion sickness will then be a thing of the past. "We hope it might even integrate with a mobile phone, which would be able to deliver the small amount of electricity required via the headphone jack," Arshad says. "You would temporarily attach small electrodes to your scalp before traveling—on a cross channel ferry, for example." The technology might even extend to other applications since the treatment enhances concentration, too. Arshad says he's already fielded interest from the military, "and we imagine that other groups such as students and people who spend long periods playing computer games will also want to try it out."
