Resting State Brain Response to Chronic Nausea and Cuff Pain |
| Description of study: |
The proposed study will examine the CNS circuitry of nausea in the human brain. Results found from motion sickness studies in healthy adults will be applied to guide the analysis of brain physiology in patients suffering from chronic nausea, i.e. cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS). |

Basic eligibility criteria: |
This study will aim to evaluate patients (n=25) diagnosed with CVS who are in an inter-ictal phase, i.e. at least 48 hours following cessation of any nausea/vomiting episode.
EXCLUSION: Subjects who currently have an acute illness, those who are awaiting transplantation, and those who have a chronic illness, such as kidney failure, congestive heart failure, and diabetes. Use of prescription benzodiazepines within the previous 3 days, use of prescription opioids and self-reported use of cannabinoids within the previous 7 days are another exclusion criteria. |
