First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether the drug baclofen can reduce vomiting in children with rumination syndrome, a condition where food comes back up soon after eating. Fifty children aged 4 to 18 took either baclofen or a placebo for 4 weeks. Researchers measured how many kids vomited once a week or less using symptom surveys.
