Abstract

Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a debilitating disorder with stereotypical episodes of recurrent vomiting lasting from hours to days. Prior studies have shown that CVS is associated with increased psychiatric comorbid conditions both in pediatric and adult population [1,2]. Psychiatric disorders such as anxiety may have profound effect in the general well-being and may also decrease the health-related quality of life among patients with CVS [3]. Further, cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, and psychopharmacotherapies have been proven to be helpful in treating CVS patients and implies the complex association between CVS and psychiatric disorders [4].
