Stern Robert M., Koch Kenneth L., Andrews Paul L.R. Nausea: Mechanisms and Management

Oxford University Press, 2014. — 471 p."Our main purpose in writing this book is to bring together from different disciplines the scattered information about nausea that exist, and to add to this review some of our own research fi ndings and theoretical concepts. We know of no other book devoted exclusively to nausea. There are several books with
“nausea” and “vomiting” in the title, but in all cases the contents deal primarily with vomiting. It is ironic that nausea is such a common experience but very little is known about its mechanisms. One obvious reason for this paucity of information is that nausea is a private sensation, as are all sensations, and, therefore, very difficult to study".
