A novel approach to studying the relationship between subjective and objective measures of cough

This study assessed objective and subjective measures of cough, with and without an esophageal catheter, in 62 patients with chronic cough attending a specialist clinic. Subjective cough (daytime and night-time) was assessed using a numerical cough score and a visual analog scale ranging from 0 (no cough) to 100 (worst cough), while objective cough was assessed using the Vitalograph VitaloJAK cough monitor.
