Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) is a clinical syndrome associated with prolonged and regular cannabis use. CHS is characterized by recurrent episodes of intractable nausea and vomiting. Given the overlap with other medical conditions and the frequent delay in diagnosis, finding an effective anti-emetic regimen for symptomatic control of CHS can be challenging. We report a case study where aprepitant (Emend) was successfully used as an anti-emetic in the treatment of CHS when all other common anti-emetics failed.
大麻性呕吐综合征(CHS)是一种与长期规律使用大麻相关的临床综合征。CHS的特征是反复出现难以控制的恶心和呕吐。鉴于其与其他疾病的重叠以及诊断常常延迟,找到一种有效的止吐方案来对症控制CHS可能具有挑战性。我们报告了一个病例研究,当所有其他常用止吐药均无效时,阿瑞匹坦(意美)成功用作止吐药治疗CHS。
