I can't open the article. I don't know why.

But I hope you'll share whatever story you get, okay? :D

Here you are, my lovely girl

Termination of intractable hiccups with digital rectal massage.

A 60-year-old man with acute pancreatitis developed persistent hiccups after insertion of a nasogastric tube. Removal of the latter did not terminate the hiccups which had also been treated with different drugs, and several manoeuvres were attempted, but with no success. Digital rectal massage was then performed resulting in abrupt cessation of the hiccups. Recurrence of the hiccups occurred several hours later, and again, they were terminated immediately with digital rectal massage. No other recurrences were observed. This is the second reported case associating cessation of intractable hiccups with digital rectal massage. We suggest that this manoeuvre should be considered in cases of intractable hiccups before proceeding with pharmacological agents.

And he won the Ig Noble Peace prize for it!

The 2006 Ornithology Ig Nobel Prize went to a scientist who studied why woodpeckers do not get headaches, while the Medicine Prize was awarded to Francis Fesmire for his discovery that "digital rectal massage" is a sure cure for the hiccups. The recipient accepted his award wearing one latex glove. The real Nobel laureates in attendance waved at him with foam fingers. A demonstration of the invention was stopped just short of indecency.

"I someday really wish to be recognized for my work in cardiac research, but my son told me to look on the bright side. It's sort of like winning a Darwin Award, but you don't have to die to win," Fesmire said.
