Could a persistent cough leave lasting scars on the lungs?
NCT ID NCT07659860
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study investigates whether chronic cough lasting more than a year can injure and remodel the lower airways. Researchers will use chest CT scans and bronchoscopy to look for signs of airway damage and inflammation in adults with refractory chronic cough. The goal is to understand if the cough itself causes structural changes in the lungs.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If chronic cough is shown to cause airway damage, this could lead to earlier treatments to prevent long-term lung changes.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, so it may not prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all people with chronic cough.
