AB - This Monograph provides a comprehensive review of CC, highlighting significant progress in the field over recent years. The contributing chapters also demonstrate key future directions that warrant attention. This includes reclassifying cough, for example into chronic primary cough and chronic secondary cough, to reflect that it can be both a disease and a symptom; developing new diagnostic tools and biomarkers to identify specific CC endotypes based on different underlying mechanisms; creating targeted therapies for these endotypes; improving clinical trial design with better endpoints and digital monitoring tools; and expanding our understanding of the full patient burden. Effective progression of these future priority areas will benefit from greater efforts to incorporate patient perspectives. There is also an additional and distinct need for research investigating CC in children, as much of our current understanding comes from studies in adults. Addressing these future directions will progress the field further towards effective management strategies for patients impacted by CC.
