Nerve stimulation study for children with cyclic vomiting syndrome
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cyclic vomiting syndrome diagnosed by a doctor using standard guidelines.
- Your child speaks English (or family can speak English).
- No other medical condition explains the vomiting.
- The external ear is healthy with no infection or severe skin problems.
- Your child has had at least 2 vomiting episodes in the last 6 months.

This study tests whether a personalized nerve stimulation treatment can help teens with cyclic vomiting syndrome or functional dyspepsia who also have symptoms of autonomic dysfunction, like dizziness, fatigue, or heart palpitations when standing.
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.
This study tests whether stimulating a nerve in the ear (called auricular vagal nerve stimulation) can improve upper gut symptoms in teens who may have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) or hypermobile spectrum disorder (HSD). It also checks whether this treatment helps nerves that control the body (autonomic nervous system) and how well the gut moves.
This study tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your stomach to help with chronic nausea and vomiting. It is for people who have had nausea for over 6 months, have normal stomach emptying, and have not found relief from standard medications.
This study tests whether a small device that gently stimulates a nerve in your ear can help reduce nausea. Researchers will enroll healthy adults to see if this non-drug approach is safe and effective.
This study tests a non-invasive treatment called percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation to see if it can help control symptoms like nausea and vomiting in people with diabetes-related gastroparesis. It aims to ease digestive symptoms and calm overactive nerves.
