phrenic

English

Irritation of the phrenic nerve (or the tissues supplied by it) leads to the hiccough reflex. en.wikipedia.org

The phrenic nerve can be blocked temporarily with injection of 0.5% procaine, or permanently with bilateral phrenicotomy or other forms of surgical destruction. en.wikipedia.org

These hiccups are part of fetal development and are associated with the myelination of the phrenic nerve, which primarily controls the thoracic diaphragm. en.wikipedia.org
