Study of energy production in airway cells for chronic cough
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how the cells lining your airways make energy and whether this is different in people with chronic cough that doesn't get better with treatment or has no clear cause. It may help doctors understand why some people cough and find new ways to treat it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is looking at how mucus builds up in the airways of people with asthma, COPD, or chronic cough. Researchers will also compare findings to healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand these conditions and find new ways to help.
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 creates a registry of people with chronic cough lasting more than 8 weeks. Researchers will gather information to better understand the condition, which may help guide future treatment.
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 looks at changes in the lower airways of people with a long-lasting cough that hasn't improved with treatment. It aims to understand why some coughs persist, which may lead to better treatments.
This study aims to better understand different types of chronic cough by using a new questionnaire. If you have had a cough for at least 8 weeks and do not smoke, you may be able to help.
