NCT ID NCT07070895

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a smartphone app called CoughPro can help adults with a long-lasting, unexplained cough. Twenty participants will use the app's cough management lessons for four weeks while wearing a smartwatch that counts their coughs. The goal is to see if the app reduces how often they cough and improves their quality of life.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help people with chronic cough gain some control over their symptoms.
