Chronic, life-threatening rumination was eliminated in a six-month-old infant by squirting a small amount of lemon juice into her mouth whenever rumination or its precursors were detected. A brief suspension of this therapy demonstrated its crucial role. Lemon-juice therapy offers a practical and acceptable alternative to other therapies for rumination, namely electric shock and massive noncontingent attention. However, since this study is limited to a single case, claims as to the effectiveness of this therapy across children are premature.
通过在六个月大的婴儿每次出现反刍行为或其先兆时向其口中喷射少量柠檬汁,慢性、危及生命的反刍行为得以消除。这种疗法的短暂中断证明了其关键作用。柠檬汁疗法为反刍行为的其他疗法,即电击和大量非连续性关注,提供了一种实用且可接受的替代方法。然而,由于这项研究仅限于单个案例,关于这种疗法对所有儿童有效性的说法还为时过早。
