Persistent hiccups due to aripiprazole: a case report and review of the literature.

Aripiprazole, a commonly prescribed antipsychotic, has been rarely associated with the onset of hiccups. This study aims to elucidate the prevalence, risk factors, and management of aripiprazole-induced hiccups. We report a case of aripiprazole-induced hiccups in a 32-year-old male diagnosed with Somatic Symptom Disorder per DSM-5 criteria.

Background: Hiccup can cause significant distress to patients and affect medication compliance. Individuals with olfactory reference disorder (ORD) who might develop persistent hiccups when treated with a combination of antidepressant and antipsychotic, leading to significant distress and impairment.

Case Summary: We report a rare case of an adolescent with ORD who was treated with aripiprazole combined with sertraline and who began to hiccup persistently after 6 days on this treatment.

Hiccups are sudden, repeated, and involuntary contractions of the diaphragm muscle (myoclonic contraction). It involves a reflex arc that, once activated, causes a strong contraction of the diaphragm immediately followed by the closure of the glottis translating into the classic "hic" sound. Hiccups can be short, persistent, and intractable depending on the duration.

The action of aripiprazole and brexpiprazole at the receptor level in .

The hiccup (Latin ) is an involuntary periodic contraction of the diaphragm followed by glottic closure, which can be a rare side effect of aripiprazole. In contrast to the structurally closely related aripiprazole, brexpiprazole was not associated with this particular adverse drug reaction. Having two very similar drugs that differ in their ability to induce hiccups represents a unique opportunity to gain insight into the receptors involved in the pathophysiology of the symptom and differences in clinical effects between aripiprazole and brexpiprazole.
