Nerve block shots tested to silence nagging cough

NCT ID NCT04421092

Summary

This study tested if injections to block a nerve in the neck could reduce chronic cough. Seventeen adults with a cough thought to be caused by an overactive nerve were randomly assigned to receive either the real nerve-block injections or placebo saline injections. Researchers tracked cough severity and quality of life over several months to see if the treatment helped.
