Summary

This study tests whether a small vibrating device placed on the throat can reduce symptoms of unexplained chronic cough. Adults aged 18 to 88 with a cough lasting more than 8 weeks use the device at home and report changes in cough severity and quality of life. The goal is to see if this non-invasive approach is both usable and effective.
