Abstract
|
|
|
|
Chronic cough is a globally common condition with a significant impact on quality of life, but effective therapy remains an unmet clinical need. Refractory or unexplained chronic cough (RUCC) is more than a persistent cough; patients with RUCC suffer from debilitating cough for several years and are desperate to seek for a diagnosis and treatment. However, they are exposed to a variety of diagnostic tests and therapeutic trials, but many eventually find themselves helpless or dismissed in the healthcare journey. At present, only a few off-label drugs are available to manage RUCC. This review aims to overview unmet clinical needs and emerging therapies to improve clinical outcomes of patients with RUCC.
