Study brain excitability in people with cyclic vomiting syndrome
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how sensitive your brain is (brain “excitability”) in people with cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS). It may help researchers understand what is happening in the brain during CVS and how it could be treated in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS)
- If you are joining a healthy control group, you do not have a personal history of CVS
- You do not have active psychosis or major confusion/changed thinking
- You do not have certain neurologic history, like seizures, fainting/passing out, stroke, or significant head injury
- You do not have an implanted device (like a pacemaker or nerve stimulator)
- You are not pregnant and are not using certain medicines/substances that can lower seizure risk

This study tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation device placed on the ear can reduce vomiting episodes in children with cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS). It aims to find a safe, non-drug option for managing symptoms.
This study looks at how the brain and stomach communicate in people with chronic nausea. It uses a noninvasive brain stimulation method called TMS to understand brain activity. You may qualify if you have chronic nausea or are a healthy volunteer.
This study tests a non-invasive electrical stimulation method to help people with mood swings. It aims to improve mood stability and brain function.
This study uses a special type of brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to measure how well epilepsy medications are working in adults with epilepsy.
This early-stage study tests a type of magnetic brain stimulation called theta burst stimulation combined with study medications to help treat moderate to severe depression. Researchers want to understand how this combination affects brain communication and may help reduce depressive symptoms.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called theta burst stimulation combined with study medications to see if it can help treat major depression. Researchers want to understand how this treatment works in the brain and whether it might be more effective than current treatments.
