Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) be recurrent nausea, vomiting, den cramping abdominal pain wey fi occur secof cannabis use.[1][2]

CHS be associated plus frequent (weekly anaa more often), long-term (several months anaa longer) cannabis use; synthetic cannabinoids sanso fi cause CHS.[2][3] De underlying mechanism be unclear, plus several possibilities dem propose.[2][4] Diagnosis be based on de symptoms; a history of cannabis use, especially persistent, frequent use of high-dose cannabis products; den ruling out oda possible causes of hyperemesis (persistent vomiting).[3] De condition typically be present for sam time before dem make de diagnosis.[3]

De known curative treatment per give CHS be to stop using cannabis.[4][5] Symptoms usually dey remit after two weeks of complete abstinence, although sam patients continue dey experience nausea, cyclic vomiting, anaa abdominal pain for up to 90 days.[3][6] Treatments during an episode of vomiting generally be supportive insyd nature (one example be hydration). Der be tentative evidence for de use of capsaicin cream on de abdomen during an acute episode.[4]

Frequent hot showers anaa baths both be a possible sign (diagnostic indicator) of CHS, den a short-term palliative treatment (dem often call hot water hydrotherapy insyd de medical literature).[7][8]

Another condition wey dey present similarly be cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS).[9] De primary differentiation between CHS den CVS be dat cessation of cannabis use dey resolve CHS, buh no be CVS.[2] Anoda key difference be say CVS symptoms typically dey begin during de early morning; predominant morning symptoms no be characteristic of CHS.[10][11] Distinguishing de two fi be difficult since chaw people plus CVS dey use cannabis, possibly to relieve dema symptoms.[2]

Na dem first describe de syndrome insyd 2004, wey na dem publish simplified diagnostic criteria insyd 2009.[12][13]
