Am J Clin Hypn. 2023 Sep 13:1-7. doi: 10.1080/00029157.2023.2249535. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRetrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction (R-CPD) causes an inability to belch. This case report describes the successful treatment of R-CPD with the use of hypnosis. Thereafter, the patient was able to burp small amounts of air, and was encouraged to continue his use of hypnosis as needed. Hypnosis and possibly other noninvasive treatments should be used for R-CPD before employment of more invasive and costly treatments such as botulinum toxin administration.PMID:37703128 | DOI:10.1080/00029157.2023.2249535
