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...
Cough is a common and troublesome symptom in people with asthma and is often associated with poorer asthma control and exacerbations. Apart from asthma, other causes or comorbidities might underlie co...
Coughing may impair the quality of life, for instance by interfering with sleep or social interactions. Acute cough is almost invariably caused by a viral respiratory tract infection and seldom warran...
Coughing is an important protective reflex of the respiratory tract and primarily serves clearance of the bronchial system. It is also an exceptionally common symptom in outpatient care that can be an...
Chronic cough (i.e., cough lasting >8 weeks) has a global prevalence of approximately 10%. The individual burden can be long-lasting, with some patients experiencing cough for many years. Although chr...
Cough is a troublesome symptom of asthma because it is associated with disease severity and poor asthma control. Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) may be effective in improving cough severity and cough-rela...
To evaluate the efficacy of BT for cough in severe uncontrolled asthma....
Twelve patients with severe uncontrolled asthma were enrolled in this study between 2018 May and March 2021 and arbitrarily divided into cough-predominant [cough severity Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ≥ 4...
BT significantly improved both cough-related indices and C-CS in the cough-predominant group. Changes in C-CS were significantly correlated with changes in the LCQ scores (C5: r = 0.65, p = 0.02 for a...
BT may be effective for cough in severe uncontrolled asthma by improving C-CS. However, further larger cohort studies are necessary to confirm the effect of BT for cough in asthma....
This study was registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (Registry ID UMIN: 000031982)....
Chronic cough is a common symptom encountered by healthcare practitioners. The global prevalence of chronic cough is 9.6%, with a female predominance. The aim of our study is to reveal the sex differe...
This study included adult patients with chronic cough who were recruited from 19 respiratory centers in South Korea. Patients completed the cough numeric rating scale (NRS) and COugh Assessment Test (...
Among the 625 patients, 419 (67.0%) were females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:2.03. The mean age was 49.4 years, and the median duration of cough was 12 weeks. The mean NRS and COAT scores were 5...
The sex disparities in prevalence and severity of cough varied significantly depending on the age category and etiology. Understanding the specific sex-based difference could enhance comprehension of ...
Behavioral cough suppression therapy (BCST) with a speech-language pathologist is a common treatment for chronic nonspecific cough (a.k.a., tic cough) in children. Yet, the outcomes and duration of pe...
A retrospective, observational cohort design was utilized. Cough characteristics, medical history, and BCST treatment details and outcomes for 151 children were extracted from the electronic medical r...
Cough was dry and onset unaccompanied by illness in most cases. Roughly half of patients reported gradual onset and cough proceeded by tickle. On average, patients experienced symptoms for 19 months (...
Although randomized clinical trials are needed, these data suggest that BCST is a low-risk, effective treatment for children with nonspecific cough....
Cough is considered chronic when it lasts for >8 weeks. When no medical explanation can be found it is often called unexplained chronic cough (UCC), which may affect health-related quality of life (HR...
Seventy-six consecutively selected patients with UCC replied to: a local questionnaire; the LCQ-S; a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for cough; the Swedish version of the Hull Airway Reflux Questionnaire (H...
Seventy-four patients (17 men) answered the questionnaires at baseline. Concurrent validity for LCQ-S was regarded as moderate with the VAS for cough and HARQ-S. Internal consistency using Cronbach's ...
The LCQ-S has good validity and reliability and can be used in clinical settings to evaluate HRQOL in Swedish-speaking adult patients with UCC....
Objective cough frequency is used to assess efficacy of chronic cough (CC) treatments. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between objective cough frequency and cough-specific ...
Data collected in a phase 2b study in participants with refractory or unexplained CC were used to investigate the relationship between 24-h cough frequency (measured using an ambulatory cough monitor)...
Correlations between 24-h cough frequency and cough-specific PROs at baseline, Week 4, and Week 12 were significant (P < 0.0001) but low to moderate in strength (ρ = 0.30-0.58). Participants categoriz...
Objective 24-h cough frequency is significantly associated with cough-specific PROs, but cough frequency and PROs most likely capture distinct aspects of CC. A ≥ 30% reduction in 24-h cough frequency ...
