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 mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

CoughPro smartphone app with behavioral cough suppression lessons

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.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early trial with only 20 people and no comparison group, so results may not be reliable or apply to everyone. The app is a wellness tool, not a medical treatment.
