Don't miss our upcoming live webinar with Dr. Imran Satia, an internationally renowned expert in the field of Chronic Cough. This promises to be a fascinating webinar which will delve into a number of topics including:
The mechanisms underlying placebo responses in refractory chronic cough (RCC), drawing parallels with chronic pain.
Neurobiological and psychological components such as expectancy, conditioning, and contextual effects, as well as reviews of evidence from clinical trials.
Alternative study designs, such as single-blind placebo run-ins and sequential parallel comparison designs, aimed at mitigating placebo responses and enhancing the reliability of RCC treatment trials.
The webinar will be broadcast live on Tuesday 11 February from 3-4pm GMT / UTC or your equivalent local time zone. Please select your time zone upon registration.
