Objective: Cervical epidural steroid injections (ESIs) can provide effective pain management for patients suffering from chronic neck pain due to various pathological changes of the cervical spine. There are several rare adverse effects reported from interventional pain procedures, including persistent hiccups ("singultus"). Based on a limited number of cases, we propose a modified treatment algorithm for this adverse outcome (Fig.
