Cryotherapy for long-lasting cough from nerve signals
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests a cold-treatment procedure (cryotherapy) to treat a stubborn cough caused by nerve signaling (not infections or common allergy/acid problems). It may help people whose cough has lasted at least 8 weeks and who have already tried to rule out other causes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have been diagnosed with “neurogenic cough.”
- Your cough has lasted 8 weeks or longer, and doctors have ruled out other causes.
- Your reflux/heartburn is controlled (not “uncontrolled reflux”).
- You do NOT have significant nose/upper-airway allergy symptoms (not uncontrolled allergic rhinitis).
- You are not currently smoking, and you’re willing to join and sign consent for the study.

This trial studies an office-based injection to calm a specific nerve in the neck to treat chronic cough that seems to come from nerve irritation (“neurogenic/sensory neuropathic” cough). It may help people whose cough has lasted at least 8 weeks and continues despite standard treatments for common cough causes.
This trial tests a behavioral therapy for people whose chronic cough (lasting more than 8 weeks) hasn't improved with usual treatments like asthma or reflux medicine. You may join if your cough is triggered by things like talking, laughing, cold air, or irritants, and you have throat symptoms like irritation or hoarseness.
This study tests two treatments—nerve blockers and a cough control therapy—for people with chronic cough that hasn't improved with standard treatments or has no clear cause. The goal is to find better ways to reduce coughing and improve quality of life.
This trial tests whether an extended-release medication called nalbuphine can reduce coughing in people with chronic cough that hasn't improved with other treatments. You may be eligible if you've had a persistent cough for at least a year and have already tried treatments for conditions that could cause it.
This study tests a behavior-based therapy to help you gain control over a persistent cough that hasn't responded to other treatments. You will learn techniques to reduce coughing during a 4-week program.
This study tests a behavioral therapy delivered through group video calls to help people with a chronic dry cough that has no clear cause. It may offer a non-drug way to reduce coughing.
