Abstract
This is the first report about the complete resolution of intractable hiccups due to stroke using near-infrared irradiation to acupoints, rather than using conventional pharmacologic therapy, traditional acupuncture, or moxibustion. Consequently, these findings suggest that linear polarized near-infrared ray irradiation, with its noninvasive properties, might be an alternative treatment for intractable hiccups after stroke.
