ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on creating and testing a new questionnaire designed to measure the severity of chronic cough. Chronic cough is a persistent cough that can be bothersome and affect daily life. The goal of the study is to develop a tool that provides an objective way to assess how severe this cough is, which can help doctors better understand and treat patients with this condition.

To participate in the trial, individuals must be between the ages of 30 and 99 and either have a clinical diagnosis of chronic cough or be healthy volunteers. Participants should also be comfortable speaking and understanding Spanish. Those who are unable to fill out the questionnaires or do not sign the consent form will not be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to complete some questionnaires that will help researchers gather important information about your cough. The trial is currently not recruiting participants, but it aims to improve the way cough severity is measured in future treatments.
