Although hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) affects thousands of women annually,
few research studies are published annually in comparison to other disorders.
We collaborate with experts on research related to HG, as well as conduct
semi-annual, online surveys and polls to further our understanding of
HG and its treatment. Our Internet research allows us to capture data
from around the globe on much larger numbers of participants. Most studies
done on HG have less than 200 participants, are not controlled or randomized,
and/or may not have enough evidence to support conclusions. Our studies
often have over 1000 participants with HG, and we are able work with international
experts on HG.
In short, too often HG studies do not meet current research standards.
Thus, we aim to conduct and fund research that accurately defines the
incidence, outcomes and proactive management of HG to help women get the
care they and their unborn child need to survive. We accept donations
to sponsor research grants.
