It clearly differentiates CVS and CHS from other vomiting syndromes in terms of presentation, diagnosis, and treatment options and provides the necessary information to understand the disorders and provide appropriate care for patients while also providing enough background to further investigators studying these disorders.

Compiled by experts in the field of motility and written by experts in several disciplines this reference this reference provides an evidence-based approach to management, treatment, and research. Important topics like nervous system pathways of nausea and vomiting, clinical features, subtypes and insight into pathogenesis, as well as the curious association of hot bathing and CVS and CHS are all explored.

This is a must-have reference for residents in training, and graduate and medical students in gastroenterology, as well as those dealing with CVS and CHS in general medical care, emergency care, and substance use/abuse.
