- The American Gastroenterological Association has released new clinical guidance on recognizing cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS).
- CVS is a chronic disorder characterized by sudden episodes of intense nausea and vomiting separated by episode-free periods.
- Diagnosis is key to creating an effective treatment plan and can be made based on clinical criteria called the Rome criteria.
- CVS can be managed with lifestyle modifications and a combination of medications to prevent and stop attacks.
- Awareness and timely diagnosis of CVS can help reduce complications and increase access to treatment for patients.
