Abstract
Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a functional disorder without any determined cause, though some motility disorders are considered in stream of this syndrome. There is no clear treatment for CVS and all treatments are borrowed from treatment of other similar diseases such as migraine. Clinical practice guideline instructs the pediatricians and pediatric gastroenterologists for treatment of CVS in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Since there is no practical guideline for the empirical management of CVS, this guideline was prepared for framing the treatments in a scientic and simple way for this disorder.
