Constant hiccups in patients with cerebral infarction may be caused by vagus nerve excitation and are commonly treated with medication and acupuncture.
The medical name for hiccups is hiccups, which is a recurrent contraction of the diaphragm caused by spasms, which causes the gas in the stomach to reflux upward, resulting in an uncontrollable sound emitted from between the throats. There are two types of hiccups: central hiccups and peripheral hiccups. The hiccups of brainstem infarction are central hiccups, but not excepted from the combination of peripheral hiccups.
Brain stem infarction stabilization has been the state of eructation, can be non-pharmacological treatment, such as acupuncture treatment, pain stimulation treatment and other modalities; also feasible drug treatment, such as metoclopramide and other treatments.
It is recommended that the patient should consult the doctor for symptomatic treatment under the guidance of the physician.
