In Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) there is thickening of lung tissue, which makes it difficult for patients to breathe and get enough oxygen into their bodies. In addition to shortness of breath, daily cough is very common, with 4 out of 5 patients experiencing this symptom. Cough in particular has a major impact on the ability to exercise, be active, and to simply enjoy life. There are many reasons for cough in ILD, and very often there are multiple overlapping causes. It is hard to improve cough in these patients, with available medicines providing limited relief. One explanation for this gap is an incomplete understanding of cough in ILD. To improve patients' cough there is a need to better understand its cause. In other lung diseases, such as asthma, doctors and scientists have used phlegm tests to measure inflammation in the lung, which helps them choose the right medicine for the right patient. This has not been done for ILD, even though it has recently been found that many patients with ILD and everyday cough have abnormal phlegm tests. Using this strategy in ILD could improve patients' cough and quality of life, and possibly even slow progression of the disease.
A prospective, multi-center, observational clinical trail. Aim to evaluate the real incidence of COPD pertussis and the impact of pertussis on subaute cough.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the capsaicin challenge can improve the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and follow-up in patients with chronic cough.
People with respiratory infection, asthmatic patients and cystic fibrosis (CF) patients suffer from a multitude of pathologies of airways and are often inflicted with chronic cough. Treatment of cough in these patients consists of many types of expectorants, cough suppressors, secretion modifiers, inhaled bronchodilators etc. In addition, chest physical therapy (PT) is often prescribed as part of the treatment regime. The assessment of coughing is currently subjective and based on the symptoms qualitative description as expressed by the patient or parent. Quantitative and objective methods for cough assessment are not available beyond the investigative laboratory and are unique to the specific investigator.
