Patient preferences for the treatment of chronic cough: a discrete choice experiment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic cough is common, negatively affects quality of life and has limited treatment options. Inhibition of purinergic signalling is a promising therapeutic approach but is associated with taste-related adverse effects.
