[6]. A variety of terms have been used in the literature for this patient group including: idiopathic chronic cough, refractory chronic cough and cough hypersensitivity syndrome [2,7,8]; for this paper we will use the term refractory chronic cough. Treatments for refractory chronic cough have ...
Chronic cough is globally prevalent across all age groups. This disorder is challenging to treat because many pulmonary and extrapulmonary conditions can present with chronic cough, and cough can also be present without any identifiable underlying cause or be refractory to therapies that improve associat...
Asthma and non-asthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis (NAEB) are among the commonest causes of chronic cough in adults. We sought to determine the role of non-invasive measurements of airway inflammation, including induced sputum and fractional exhaled nitric oxide, in the evaluation of cough associated ...
group compared to males [66]. Women report more dyspnoea, chronic cough and lower overall quality of life scores. In addition, females also represent a more significant proportion of severe early-onset COPD patients (SEO-COPD) [67], defined by the development of COPD before 50 years of age ...
The Montreal consensus recognizes chronic cough as an extra-esophageal manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux disease. We performed a meta-analysis to assess the effects of acid-suppressive medications in adults with non-specific chronic cough. The pro
(Logue et al.2021). Older patients commonly report symptoms like cough, arthralgia, fatigue, and dyspnea. This may be linked to “inflamm-aging”, a pro-inflammatory state associated with aging (Daitch et al.2022). However, an association of Long COVID with inflammation is not limited to ...
P2X receptors are cation channels that sense extracellular ATP. Many therapeutic candidates targeting P2X receptors have begun clinical trials or acquired approval for the treatment of refractory chronic cough (RCC) and other disorders. However, the pres

This difficulty is tackled without reference to good clinical practice and the recommendations issued by international scientific societies published during the wide time interval in which the patient presented cough (2002–2014). The British Thoracic Society in the document “Recommendations for the ...
Chronic airway diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, cystic fibrosis (CF) and bronchiectasis (BE), are conditions where airway inflammation gives rise to symptoms including cough, dyspnoea and excessive mucus production. ...
