HICCUPS, NEUROLOGICAL disorders, and CENTRAL nervous system
Abstract
The first cases of intractable hiccups associated with demyelinating diseases were reported in 1979.[2] Three cases of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) presenting with hiccups were described, and the symptom was thought to reflect disinhibition of a primitive gastrointestinal reflex by demyelinating lesions. In one such study, 8 out of 47 cases of relapsing NMOSD had intractable hiccups, compared to none in 130 cases of MS.[4] In 75% of patients with intractable hiccups, MRI detected linear medullary lesions involving the pericanal region, the AP, and the NTS.

Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 68-year-old woman who undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG) after experiencing fluctuating level of consciousness. It mentions that the woman was treated using nail bed pressure wherein stimulus-induced rhythmic, periodic, or ictal discharges (SIRPIDs) and extremities triggered paroxysms of brain activity was found. It discusses SIRPIDS which was induced by alerting stimuli.
