Psychogenic habit cough--a condition that can be debilitating if it extends over a period of years--has been described in both pediatric and adolescent populations, but not in adults. The authors review the cases of 4 adult patients with this condition, review the available pediatric/adolescent literature, and make suggestions for the direction of future research. In some cases, psychogenic habit cough in adults can be successfully treated with a combination of psychotherapy, relaxation therapy, and speech therapy.
心因性习惯性咳嗽——如果持续数年可能会使人衰弱的一种病症——已在儿童和青少年人群中有所描述，但在成人中未见报道。作者回顾了4例患有这种病症的成年患者的病例，查阅了现有的儿童/青少年文献，并对未来研究的方向提出了建议。在某些情况下，成人的心因性习惯性咳嗽可以通过心理治疗、放松治疗和言语治疗相结合的方式成功治愈。
