The neuromodulator gabapentin is effective for neuropathic pain with central sensitisation, and findings from two case series have shown success with gabapentin in chronic cough. 9,10 We aimed to test whether gabapentin, given to patients with refractory chronic cough, improves cough-specific quality of life and decreases cough severity and
Gabapentin resulted in a significant improvement in cough-specific quality of life, cough severity, and cough frequency and was well tolerated; therefore, it could be considered a viable alternative to current chronic cough treatment, especially for refractory chronic cough. The addition of gabapentin to chronic cough standard practice
This study tested the effectiveness and tolerability of gabapentin, a neuromodulator, for patients with refractory chronic cough. Gabapentin significantly improved cough-specific quality of life and reduced cough severity and frequency compared with placebo.
In patients with chronic cough, gabapentin led to improved cough symptoms compared with placebo.
