Active clinical trials for "Cough"

This is a multicenter observational study and will include individuals with a variety of cough related conditions including but not limited to refractory chronic cough, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and non-tuberculous mycobacteria. The primary objective of this study is to assess the overall performance of the Hyfe Cough Monitoring System (HCMS, Hyfe Inc., 2022) when used by individuals with problematic cough, under common living conditions.The monitoring period for outpatients will be 24 hours.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, dose escalation study of bradanicline in subjects with chronic cough

This was a randomized controlled trial of 400 women who attended the outpatient clinic of Menoufia University Hospital for copper IUD insertion. The women were randomly assigned to cough and control groups.The primary outcome measure was the level of pain experienced at different steps of IUD insertion measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS).

Chronic cough (TC), defined by a duration exceeding 8 weeks, is a particularly frequent symptom with a prevalence observed at 9.6% 1. Chronic cough is the cause of a major handicap for patients with a impact on their quality of life 2. Although CT is common, management is often delicate and complex. In studies, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease, posterior flushing, rhino-sinusitis, or taking tussigenic medications are common causes of chronic coughs. However, chronic refractory or unexplained cough, which corresponds to cough for which no cause has been found or the treatments directed against the cause of the cough have not made it possible to resolve the cough, is a real problem in practice. nick3. There is currently no prospective data in France on the characteristics of chronic cough (etiologies, response to treatment) and the percentage of refractory cough. The aim of the study is to constitute a French prospective multicenter hospital cohort of chronic cough patients in order to identify, for the first time in France in a prospective and multicenter manner, the frequency of patients with refractory cough among chronic cough patients.

This was an 8-week randomized, parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of gefapixant (AF-219) in participants with refractory chronic cough.

People cough in order to clear their airways. Most coughs are caused by viruses and settle down by themselves, but some people develop persistent coughing which can be anywhere from 8 weeks to several years. This is called chronic cough. People with chronic cough find the symptom distressing and it can have a major impact on their quality of life. Patients with chronic cough often report a sensation at the back of their throat which makes them feel an urge to cough. There is some evidence that Lidocaine (an anaesthetic used during medical procedures) can suppress a person's cough when given to patients via a nebuliser (a machine that turns liquid into a fine mist). It is currently unknown whether using a local anaesthetic, such as Lidocaine, in the form of a throat spray would successfully suppress a person's cough. A throat spray would be an easier treatment option in chronic cough patients. Thus, the investigators research aims to compare cough rates, severity and urge to cough scores between Lidocaine throat spray and nebulised Lidocaine.

The purpose of this research study is to test cough function in individuals with Parkinson's disease and healthy older adults. Cough is a complex, defensive function which involves movement of the chest and lungs. The investigators want to compare the movement of the chest wall and the lungs during voluntary and reflex cough. The long-term goal of this research is to develop treatments for people with cough dysfunction. Cough dysfunction increases the risk for respiratory infections such as pneumonia. The results from this study will provide information to help researchers understand the difference between reflex and voluntary cough more fully.

The study aim is to determine the effect of 8 weeks of anti-reflux treatment (full acid suppression) on bronchial hyper-responsiveness and whether there is a symptomatic improvement.

The investigators want to see whether the test drug in this research study, 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (2HPBCD), might potentially be able to improve cough in healthy volunteers. The investigators are initially recruiting healthy volunteers such as who are free from any respiratory disease and not on any concurrent medication, so there are no confusing effects from pre-existing respiratory symptoms or disease, nor interaction of any medication with the test drug.

The aim of the research is to evaluate the clinical value of fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO) ,impulse oscillometry(IOS) and mid-expiratory flow (MEF) in patients with cough variant asthma.
