The diagnosis and management of chronic cough can be challenging. Only an estimated 50% of patients with chronic cough are accurately diagnosed. Recent advances in the understanding and management of refractory chronic cough, have led to the development of novel therapies and ongoing clinical studies. In this two-part educational curriculum, pulmonary experts will discuss the prevalence, unmet clinical needs, and impact of chronic cough in patients who do not find relief from recommended management strategies. They will also review the clinical trial data and mechanisms of action of emerging therapies for patients with refractory chronic cough; and finally, summarize the current guidelines and emerging treatment strategies for the management of patients with chronic cough.
