Arnold's nerve cough reflex: evidence for chronic cough as a sensory vagal neuropathy
Ryan N, Gibson P, Birring S
Journal of thoracic disease · 2014
Key finding
In both cases, the cough as well as the Arnold's nerve reflex hypersensitivity were successfully treated with gabapentin, a treatment that has previously been shown to be effective in the treatment of cough due to sensory laryngeal neuropathy (SLN).
