“Treating cyclic vomiting syndrome in the Emergency Department: Sooner appears better”

Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a complex disorder of gut-brain interaction characterized by repeated cyclic or sporadic episodes of extreme nausea, severe vomiting and retching occurring as often as every five minutes. Formation of the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Association in 1993 spurred current progress in characterizing the phenotype, uncovering potential mechanistic pathways, and improving acute and preventative management. The North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) Consensus Statement in 2008 and the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Adult Guidelines in 2019 have helped guide diagnostic and treatment approaches (1,2).
