At CHEST 2025, held in Chicago, Illinois, Laurie Slovarp, PhD, CCC-SLP, professor at the University of Montana and certified speech pathologist, presented a poster on the development of a digital therapeutic designed to improve access to behavioral cough suppression therapy for patients with refractory chronic cough.
A large-scale trial examining the effect of azithromycin on the relationship between oesophageal function and cough as evaluated by Hyfe's cough monitoring technology in respiratory disease is feasible and acceptable to patients.
This study used Hyfe's wearable cough monitor during a 7-day run in, 28-day treatment, and 14-day follow-up period in patients with chronic bronchitis.
Periods of intense coughing (termed bouts, epochs or bursts) are particularly problematic for some coughers and may not be reflected by simply counting the number of coughs per day. This study explored how varying the definition of bouts yield different impressions of cough severity.

Long coronavirus disease (COVID) refers to an array of variable and fluctuating symptomsexperienced after acute illness, with signs and symptoms that persist for 8–12 weeks andare not otherwise explicable. Cough is the most common symptom of acute COVID-19, butcough may persist in some individuals for weeks or months after recovery from acute phase.Long-COVID cough patients may get stigmatised because of the public fear of contagionand reinfection.
However, clinical characteristics and longitudinal course of long-COVIDcough have not been reported in detail, and evidence-based treatment is also lacking. In thispaper, we describe a case of long-COVID severe refractory cough with features of laryngealhypersensitivity and dysfunction. We characterized cough using patient-reported outcomesand engaged in continuous cough frequency monitoring. Through the case study, we discusspotential mechanisms, managements, and clinical implications of long-COVID refractorycough problems.
