About this trial
This exploratory study will determine if there are differences in cortical excitability between patients suffering from cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) and healthy control subjects, as assessed by a non-invasive method of brain stimulation (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, TMS).
Eligibility criteria
