Hiccup is a common phenomenon produced by the activation of a primitive reflex, which has its own center in the central nervous system. Most episodes last only a few minutes and are self-limited, but hiccup can get persistent and become a real problem for physician and patient alike. The center of hiccup may be activated by a great variety of stimuli travelling along different nerve path ways and bring different effector responses. Causes of hiccup are various and merit a systematic study of any patient with persistent hiccup.
呃逆是一种由原始反射激活产生的常见现象，其在中枢神经系统中有自己的中枢。大多数发作仅持续几分钟且为自限性，但呃逆可能会持续存在，对医生和患者来说都成为一个真正的问题。呃逆中枢可能会被沿着不同神经通路传导的多种刺激所激活，并引发不同的效应反应。呃逆的病因多种多样，任何持续性呃逆患者都值得进行系统研究。
