Study Details
Testing Biomarkers in People with Chronic Cough
(IRB#: IRB_00174890)
A biomarker is a way to know what is currently happening in the body that provides signs of health conditions. Chronic refractory cough (CRC) is a cough lasting 8 weeks or longer without a known cause and/or unresponsive to typical cough treatments. This condition affects the quality of life of many people. This study will help to understand biological measure patterns such as heart rate, and respiratory (breathing) rate during interactions with staff to guide the understanding of the CRC. This will also help to better understand the underlying cause of CRC. People in the study will attend one in-person visit at a study clinic for about 3 hours. Medical tests will be done during the study to track the health of participants.
