Cheap nebulizer could bring cough testing out of the lab

NCT ID NCT07531901

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a simple, handheld nebulizer can reliably measure how sensitive a person's cough reflex is, compared to expensive lab equipment. Ten healthy adults will take part, each using both methods. The goal is to see if the cheaper device gives consistent results, which could make cough testing more widely available.
