Breathing-focused therapy for chronic cough
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a 4-week program that teaches breathing-focused techniques (based on acceptance and commitment therapy) to help people with chronic cough. The program is done over video with a facilitator, and the study will see if it is practical and helpful for managing cough symptoms.

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 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 tests two treatments for a chronic cough that doesn't get better with usual care. You may receive a medication that affects the nerves (a neuromodulator), a cough control therapy (special exercises and education), both, or neither. The goal is to see which approach helps reduce coughing.
This trial is testing a telehealth program (using phone calls or video meetings) to help people with interstitial lung disease manage chronic cough. If you join, you'll get guidance and support to improve your cough symptoms and quality of life.
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.
This study looks at how certain nerve receptors (called P2X3) and a molecule called ATP might be linked to inflammation in the airways of people with chronic cough. It compares chronic cough patients to healthy non-smokers to better understand the cause of cough and find new treatment targets.
