Medical News!
Biology and Control of Nausea
and Vomiting Conference - 2015
The 2nd bi-annual NIH sponsored conference on the Biology and Control of Nausea and Vomiting 2015, took place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 23rd and 24th. The CVSA was a major financial sponsor for this meeting. The funding for the second conference was based on the success of research, connections and projects that started during the 2013 conference. All measures point to the same success of the 2015 conference.
The program consisted of science, known and yet unknown, about nausea and vomiting. CVS was fully featured in two of the six sessions. The sixth session was devoted to the first in-person meeting of the 12 person committee of clinicians developing the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Adults with CVS. This is a long and complicated process. The resulting published document will be circulated widely around the globe.
Watch for the arrival of the next Code 'V' - CVSA Newsletter to read more details about this leap in progress toward understanding and treating CVS!

Kathleen Adams - CVSA President

Maria is hosting this event to honor her son, Brent.
Best of luck to both of you!

Go Fund Me Project to Raise $
for the Adult Guidelines for Diagnosing and Treating CVS -
It is so exciting that the CVSA and the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society (ANMS) will partner to develop Adult Guidelines!
With Children's Guidelines already in place thanks to CVSA fundraising, and our strong team of medical advisors, we are embarking on a partnership project that will help adult sufferers around the world. When completed, these guidelines will help doctors and ER personnel know how to better care for CVS patients.
Creating medical guidelines is expensive. CVSA is the financial sponsor for these guidelines, but we are asking for your help to join us in funding this project. All donations are greatly appreciated! We will keep you posted with more information on the progress of this project as we move forward.
Please visit our page at:

Total Amount Raised to Date:
$ 16,041!
Thank you from the Board of Directors
at the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Association!

Hope Starts Here
with Holiday Cheer!
The CVSA is running our holiday program once again for the second year, and will be accepting donations now through the end of December. We were able to raise
$8,470.00
last year and thank you for your generosity!
Please consider making a charitable donation to the CVSA this holiday season.
You may want to honor a family member or friend who has CVS, or you may want to
donate in lieu of giving a gift to family, friends and co-workers. All donations from our
holiday program will be used to support the CVSA research fund and operations.
This year we will be designating 50% of our fund to the Adult Treatment Guidelines
project. Previous research funds have been used to underwrite the creation of the
NASPHGAN Guidelines, to fund research symposiums, to grant scholarships
to young clinicians and scientists, and to fund pilot grants.
If you wish to make a donation on-line please
If you would prefer to mail a check you may do so to the address below. Please make checks payable to the CVSA, and note: 'Holiday Cheer' in the memo line.
