If the patient is unable to accept his benign monosymptomatic globus as a somatoform disorder (ICD-10; F45. 8), a combination of pharmacologic intervention and cognitive-behavioral intervention as an integrated treatment approach is recommended. However, the symptom has a strong tendency to recur.
The most common causes of globus pharyngeus are anxiety and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a form of acid reflux that causes the stomach's contents to travel back up the food pipe and sometimes into the throat.
