Capsaicin cough receptor sensitivity test in children.
Capsaicin has been used as a tussive agent in studies in adults to determine cough receptor sensitivity. The aim of this study was to determine the tolerance, repeatability and influence of inspiratory flow on the capsaicin cough receptor sensitivity test in children. Thirty children (mean age 11 yrs; range 6-16 yrs) were tested on two different days, to determine the lowest concentration of ca...
متن کاملCapsaicin cough sensitivity in bronchiectasis.
BACKGROUND Bronchiectasis is a suppurative airway disease characterised by persistent cough and sputum production associated with bronchial dilatation. A study was undertaken to determine whether cough sensitivity is increased in bronchiectatic patients. METHODS Twenty two patients with bronchiectasis and 20 healthy non-smoking controls matched for age and sex were recruited into the study. Q...
متن کاملAssociation of genetic variations in neurokinin-2 receptor with enhanced cough sensitivity to capsaicin in chronic cough.
BACKGROUND Chronic cough is associated with increased sensitivity to inhaled capsaicin, and both tachykinins and their receptors play important roles in the cough reflex. However, associations between polymorphisms of the tachykinin receptor genes and cough sensitivity in patients with non-productive chronic cough have not been reported. METHODS Direct sequencing was used to identify single n...
متن کاملCough receptor sensitivity to capsaicin does not change after allergen bronchoprovocation in allergic asthma.
BACKGROUND The relationship between cough receptor sensitivity and eosinophilic inflammation of the airway in patients with asthma remains unclear. METHODS Eighteen patients with asthma sensitised to house dust mite (HDM) were enrolled in a randomised parallel group study. Patients with asthma whose main symptom was cough were not enrolled in the study. Half the patients were randomly assigne...
متن کاملCough sensitivity and extrathoracic airway responsiveness to inhaled capsaicin in chronic cough patients.
Enhanced cough response has been frequently observed in chronic cough. Recently, extrathoracic airway constriction to inhaled histamine was demonstrated in some chronic cough patients. However, relation between extrathoracic airway hyperresponsiveness (EAHR) and cough sensitivity determined by capsaicin inhalation is unclear in each etiological entity of chronic cough. Seventy-seven patients, w...
