Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome and Cannabinoid Hyperemesis comprehensively covers the varied aspects of both adult cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). The book clearly differentiates CVS and CHS from other vomiting syndromes in terms of presentation, diagnosis and treatment options, providing the necessary information to understand the disorders and present appropriate care for patients while also including enough background to help investigators studying these disorders. Compiled by experts in the field of motility and written by experts in several disciplines, this reference provides an evidence-based approach to the management, treatment and research of CVS and cannabinoid hyperemesis.
Important topics like nervous system pathways of nausea and vomiting, clinical features, subtypes and insights into pathogenesis and the curious association of hot bathing, CVS and CHS are all explored. This is a must-have reference for residents in training, graduate and medical students in gastroenterology, and those dealing with CVS and CHS in general medical care, emergency care and in substance use/abuse.
- Outlines the physiology and known contributors to the development of adult cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) to guide in the further investigation and treatment of adult cyclic vomiting syndrome
- Provides the definition and recognition of adult CVS to help organize and guide patient care
- Explores cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) and its relationship to adult CVS

William L. Hasler, MD is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. Dr. Haslers research focuses on nausea and vomiting and the pathophysiology of gastric motility disorders, and he is an internationally recognized expert in clinical and translational research in CVS and gastroparesis. He serves as a lead advisor to the Rome Foundation and has helped craft the clinical descriptions of CVS and CHS in adults. He also provided pivotal input to develop the first clinical guidelines on the management of CVS in adults David J. Levinthal, MD, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dr. Levinthals research focuses on the neural mechanisms of brain-gut interactions and autonomic function, and he is involved in clinical and translational research in CVS. He serves as a Counselor of the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society, a Medical Advisor of the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Association, and helped to develop the first clinical guidelines on the management of CVS in adults. Thangam Venkatesan, MD is Professor of Clinical Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Patients with CVS travel across the US and beyond to access her well-established CVS center. As a leading CVS expert, she serves as the Chief Medical Advisor of the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Association and spearheaded the first clinical guidelines on the management of CVS in adults. She conducts clinical and translational research to develop better therapies for patients with CVS around the world.
