Would you like to participate in HG Progress?
We have research opportunities for currently pregnant people with and without Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). Explore current research opportunities in the field of HG to stay informed and potentially contribute to advancing knowledge and treatment options. Discover how you can participate in groundbreaking studies and contribute to the ongoing effort to improve outcomes for HG sufferers worldwide. Stay connected with the latest developments in HG research and play an active role in shaping the future of care.
Medication Prior to HG Survey
The Medication Prior to Pregnancy Survey is a short, anonymous survey. This survey is open to those who have or have had HG and those who have not had HG. Please share this survey with non-HG friends.
Provider, ER, and Hospitalization Survey
HG Treatment Survey
HG Pregnancy Data Collection
We closed our current HG Registry Database. A new one will be built so watch this page and social media for updates.
HELP Score Validation
We are doing an important survey to validate the HELP Score (HyperEmesis Level Prediction Score) which tells us how severe HG is today.
We need women to fill out this survey before and after they have a change in treatment. Start by filling it out today and then the day before you get medical care like IV fluids or new medication; then fill it out again about 12-24 hours later. If you’re in the hospital, please try to fill it out once each day. The first survey is a little longer than the follow-up 24 hours later because we have to collect your pregnancy history and other standard research information, so feel free to start anytime.
Most importantly, we need to see how your score changes with treatment. Please invite women without HG to be our control group. Thank you!
Nutrition Assessment Study
Socioeconomic and Other Influences in Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy and Hyperemesis Gravidarum
(NOTE: THIS IS NOT A HER FOUNDATION STUDY.)
You are invited to participate in a research study titled: Socioeconomic and Other Influences in Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy and Hyperemesis Gravidarum. The purpose is to investigate Hyperemesis Gravidarum and nausea/vomiting during pregnancy or “morning sickness” outcomes with consideration for the socioeconomic influences, race, age, support system, and pregnancy history. Dependent on your answers, we may ask for your help in upcoming studies targeting a gene that may be indicated in morning sickness. The results will be used to further understand what factors influence sickness and its outcomes in an effort to provide better treatment options. Further instructions can be found on the consent form before beginning the survey but it should not take more than 5 minutes to complete. Thank you for you help and participation!
Other HER Foundation Surveys and Polls
Coming Soon!
Although hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) affects millions of women annually across the globe, the interest and funding for HG research is very small. HER has been collaborating with the world's leading researcher, Dr. Marlena Fejzo since 2001. We collaborate with experts from universities in many countries and are the leading research team with our many groundbreaking studies including finding the first causes of HG, your genes!
We appreciate your donations to take HG research to the next level. Please support the HER Foundation's research studies with Dr. Fejzo with a monthly donation! Together, we can make HG history!
Other HG Research Opportunities
Governmental Studies (US)
Pregnancy Registry (FDA/Office of Women's Health) If you are pregnant and currently taking medicine — or have been exposed to a medicine during your pregnancy — you may be able to participate and help in the collection of needed information. This web site provides a list of pregnancy registries that are seeking participants.
