Introduction
Under normal circumstances, if neurogenic gastric spasm is caused by abnormal nerve function, it may resolve spontaneously. However, if neurogenic gastric spasms occur frequently or persist without relief, they may not be self-limiting. If symptoms persist or recur frequently, timely medical attention is advised. To promote spontaneous resolution of neurogenic gastric spasm, patients should maintain regular eating habits in daily life.

Generally, if neurogenic gastric spasm is caused by abnormal nerve function, it may resolve spontaneously. However, if the neurogenic gastric spasms occur frequently or persist without relief, spontaneous recovery may not be possible. If symptoms persist or recur frequently, timely medical attention is necessary. Analysis is as follows:

Neurogenic gastric spasm is usually caused by abnormal nerve function and may be related to factors such as poor eating habits, abdominal cold exposure, and excessive mental stress. When these triggering factors are removed, the gastric spasms may gradually subside and symptoms may disappear spontaneously, achieving self-resolution.

If neurogenic gastric spasms occur frequently or persist without relief, or if they are caused by severe gastric diseases, neurological disorders, or other underlying conditions, spontaneous recovery is usually unlikely, and timely medical evaluation and treatment are required.

To facilitate self-resolution of neurogenic gastric spasms, patients should maintain regular eating habits in daily life, avoid overeating and consuming irritating foods. Additionally, attention should be paid to keeping the abdomen warm to avoid cold exposure.
