Among the various types of laryngeal paraesthesia suffered by chronic cough patients, we often encounter 'a sensation of irritation in the throat (SIT)'. Our study indicated that capsaicin cough threshold was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in the SIT-positive group (13.9 μmol/L) than in the SIT-negative group (49.6 μmol/L). The establishment of treatment strategies for SIT would be advantageous for treating chronic cough patients suffering from this laryngeal sensation.
在慢性咳嗽患者所经历的各种类型的喉感觉异常中,我们经常会遇到“咽喉部刺激感(SIT)”。我们的研究表明,在 SIT 阳性组(13.9 μmol/L)中,辣椒素咳嗽阈值显著(P < 0.05)低于 SIT 阴性组(49.6 μmol/L)。为 SIT 建立治疗策略将有利于治疗患有这种喉部感觉的慢性咳嗽患者。
