View clinical trials related to Chronic Cough.
Filter by:Chronic cough is one of the most common complaints in respiratory specialty clinics, imposing significant economic burden on patients and severely affecting their quality of life. Currently, the pathogenesis of chronic refractory cough remains incompletely understood, and treatment remains a major challenge in clinical practice. Cryotherapy treatment via bronchoscopy has shown efficacy in certain airway diseases, but there is currently no research reporting its effects on chronic refractory cough. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Cryotherapy treatment works to treat individuals with chronic cough. It will also learn about The safety and effectiveness of the cryotherapy treatment system produced by Ningbo SensCure Biotechnology Co., Ltd.. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does cryotherapy treatment lower the frequency and severity of cough and enhance quality of life? - Will there be safety or operational performance issues when using this cryotherapy treatment system? Researchers will compare cryotherapy treatment with no treatment to determine if cryotherapy treatment is effective for treating chronic cough. Participants will: - Take routine bronchoscopy examination, lavage, and mucosal biopsy ,with/without cryotherapy treatment locally (around the left and right main bronchi, upper trachea, and carina) - undergo a screening period of approximately 28 days. Follow-up visits and necessary examinations will be scheduled for the 3rd day after treatment initiation and at weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 thereafter. - Monitor vital signs and clinical manifestations.
Cough has previously been described by the type of cough you have ie such as wet, dry, and chesty, and also by its features such as how often you are coughing its,intensity, and severity, but never has the varying patterns of cough been studied in any detail and it could be that the pattern of the cough is closely related to patient-perceived intensity, frequency and most importantly severity. Cough is a symptom and like any other symptom (such as pain) the severity of it can only be gauged by the patient experiencing it. We have created a one-page brand newl questionnaire that shows 4 distinct cough patterns that we believe exist and an empty field designed so that patients can record a pattern of cough they experience which is not already a choice on the questionnaire. The questionnaire also records patients' experience of how frequent, and intense, the cough is, and how it disrupts their lives, on a 1-10 scale (Visual analogue scale), the sum of these scores is collated and this gives us a severity score. The first phase of the project is to determine whether 30 Chronic cough patients understand the questionnaire, and are able to complete it with little direction, and if the cough patterns we identified encompassed all pattern types. second part of the study is to look at how repeatable the questionnaire is when completed over a 6 week period.
This study is being done in order to understand what causes people to have a chronic cough, which is defined as a cough lasting for more than 8 weeks. The research team wish to find out whether there is any inflammation in the lungs of patients with chronic cough. The research team will also determine whether a suspected chemical produced in the body, called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) can be responsible for causing the chronic cough. In order to be able to find out what is abnormal in those who have a chronic cough, The research team will need to compare their results with those that do not have a chronic cough. In this study, the research team will examine 10 participants who suffer from chronic cough and 8 individuals who do not have a chronic cough and are healthy.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-designed phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of HS-10383 in Chinese adult subjects with refractory or unexplained chronic cough (RUCC).
this study aimed to compare characters in pulmonary function of patients with cough variant asthma and chronic cough and establish a diagnostic model.
A 2-period crossover study for the treatment of cough in patients with Refractory Chronic Cough via Nalbuphine ER (NAL ER). Each period will last 21 days and are separated by 21 days. Subjects will be randomized in Treatment Period 1 to either NAL ER or matching placebo and evaluated for 21 days. After completion of the first phase, subjects who received NAL ER will crossover to placebo and subjects who received placebo will crossover to NAL ER to complete Treatment Period 2.
Recently, a new drug called Gefapixant passed phase III clinical trials for cough suppression in patients with chronic cough. The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of acute and prolonged administration of the drug Gefapixant on cough-related brain activity in patients with chronic cough. The main question it aims to answer is: does the mechanism of action of Gefapixant on the brainstem and brain circuits regulating cough differ between acute and prolonged therapy in people with chronic cough? Participants have their brain activity and their sensitivity to cough-inducing substances measured as well as complete questionnaires about their cough before and while taking daily Gefapixant.
This interventional study aims to validate the cough detection device by automatically and continuously measuring the cough frequency with SIVA-MVP among chronic cough patients and in a real-world environment.
This Phase IIa, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of GDC-6599 compared with placebo in patients with a history of chronic cough.
Starting from Chronic Cough Impact Querstionnaire (CCIQ), of which we are the authors and copyright holders, it will be developed and validated a shortened version with psychometric properties allowing the use in the evaluation of single patient (Chronic Cough Patient Perspective). The CCPP will allow to unmask the problem, reduce underdiagnosis, increase awareness on chronic cough, measure the impact of the chronic cough and its treatments on the patient's life.
