โœฆ Synopsis

Inhalation cough challenge is a useful tool in the physiological and pharmacological investigation of the cough reflex. There are three types of challenge used, capsaicin and the vanilloids, organic acids, and distilled water challenge. In addition, challenge may be administered in a single dose or cumulative dose fashion. The correct combination of inhalation technology and tussive stimulus produces a sensitive and specific method for estimating the cough reflex.

While airway rapidly adapting receptors can mediate the cough reflex, much evidence suggests that bronchial C-fibre receptors are also involved in guinea-pigs and man. In man local and systemic C-fibre stimulants have a potent tussive action, which is blocked by low doses of local anaesthetics which
