Chronic Cough
Conditions
Brief summary
Starting from Chronic Cough Impact Querstionnaire (CCIQ), of which we are the authors and copyright holders, it will be developed and validated a shortened version with psychometric properties allowing the use in the evaluation of single patient (Chronic Cough Patient Perspective). The CCPP will allow to unmask the problem, reduce underdiagnosis, increase awareness on chronic cough, measure the impact of the chronic cough and its treatments on the patient's life.
Interventions
