    Slinger C, Mehdi SB, Milan SJ, Dodd S, Matthews J

    Published in Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews

    Methodology

    Cochrane review of randomised trials of speech and language therapy for unexplained (idiopathic/refractory) chronic cough

    Key Findings

    Low-certainty evidence suggests speech and language therapy may improve cough-related quality of life in unexplained chronic cough; very few trials were available

    Conclusions

    Non-drug behavioural therapy is a plausible option but the evidence base is thin

    Limitations

    Only a small number of small trials, high risk of bias, no long-term follow-up
