Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate a modified behavioral treatment for chronic cough due to cough hypersensitivity syndrome (CHS). This type of CC is a non-productive cough that is due, in part, to over-expression of transient receptor potential vanilliod (TRPV) receptors in the airway epithelium, which contribute to a dry cough elicited by typically non-tussive stimuli (e.g., cold air, smells) or by low doses of tussive stimuli (e.g., smoke). Currently available treatment options are limited to neuromodulator medications (e.g., gabapentin, amytriptiline) and behavioral cough suppression therapy (BCST), neither of which is 100% effective. The primary component of BCST is teaching patients to suppress their cough in the presence of an urge-to-cough. Studies have confirmed a reduction in cough sensitivity (as tested with inhaled capsaicin) following 1-4 weeks of successful cough suppression. However, patients with severe CHS are not able to suppress their cough in the presence of uncontrollable environmental stimuli and, hence, do not respond well to the therapy. The purpose of this study is to determine the potential of treating CHS by implementing BCST while stimulating cough with progressive concentrations of inhaled diluted aerosolized capsaicin. The investigators hypothesize this treatment will result in a reduction in cough-reflex sensitivity, cough-related quality of life, and cough frequency.
