Abstract
The unifying characteristics of patients with chronic cough are a severe urge-to-cough associated with throat irritation, consistent with sensory neuronal dysfunction of vagal afferents. Precipitants of the urge-to-cough vary though, and can be used to classify sub-groups of patients who may share similar underlying pathophysiology.
