    PulmPeeps / Irish Thoracic Society collaboration: Understanding Refractory Chronic Cough: Insights from Experts

    In this episode, we explore the complex and often overlooked world of refractory chronic cough—a condition that can significantly impact patients’ quality of life, yet is frequently misunderstood or underdiagnosed. Featuring insights from leading respiratory specialists in Ireland and the United States, we examine the latest approaches to diagnosis, management, and emerging treatments aimed at improving patient outcomes and supporting clinicians in navigating this challenging area of respiratory medicine. Our guests, Professor Lorcan McGarvey and Professor Brendan Canning—both internationally recognised leaders in respiratory medicine and cough research—share their expertise on the neurobiology of chronic cough, the substantial morbidity experienced by patients, and strategies for more effective diagnostic investigation. We also discuss current treatment options and promising therapies on the horizon, as chronic cough increasingly gains recognition as a disease in its own right rather than merely a symptom. Whether you are a clinician, researcher, or simply interested in advances in respiratory medicine, this episode offers valuable insights into a condition that is finally receiving the attention it deserves. -- Guests Professor Lorcan McGarvey Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the University of Belfast, with a focus on the neurobiology of cough.
