Summary

This study tests whether two common nerve pain medications, duloxetine and amitriptyline, can reduce coughing in people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). About 25 adults with a chronic cough lasting at least 3 months will receive either a low or high dose of one drug or a placebo. The main goal is to see if these drugs safely lower cough frequency over 8 weeks.
