Hiccup is usually a self-limiting condition, and can be treated with medications and physical maneuvers. However, hiccup episodes continuing for days or weeks can be incapacitating, and disturb work, sleep, and eating. Therefore, timely therapeutic intervention is needed to achieve early resolution of this treatable condition. We report on a successful phrenic nerve block for intractable hiccups, which consisted of thoracoscopic nerve clipping under general anesthesia and reversal under local anesthesia. This method has the advantage of assured diaphragmatic functional recovery while controlling intractable hiccups.
呃逆通常是一种自限性病症，可通过药物和物理手法进行治疗。然而，持续数天或数周的呃逆发作可能会使人丧失能力，并干扰工作、睡眠和饮食。因此，需要及时进行治疗干预，以便尽早解决这种可治疗的病症。我们报告了一例成功应用膈神经阻滞治疗顽固性呃逆的病例，该方法包括在全身麻醉下进行胸腔镜神经夹闭术，并在局部麻醉下进行逆转。这种方法在控制顽固性呃逆的同时，具有确保膈肌功能恢复的优势。
