Hortensia Alonso-Navarro1, Lluisa Rubio, Félix Javier Jiménez-Jiménez.   

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To report a patient with intractable hiccup which improved with gabapentin. CASE REPORT: A 69-year-old woman diagnosed with refractory hiccup that started 50 years before improved dramatically after a trial of gabapentin for essential tremor. Gabapentin withdrawal led to reappearance of hiccup, which improved again after its reintroduction.
CONCLUSIONS: Gabapentin should be considered as a possible therapy for refractory hiccup.
