Bronchial Hyper-responsiveness in Reflux Cough

An 8 Week Non-selected Cohort Study to Investigate Whether the Treatment of Reflux Induced Cough Alters Associated Bronchial Hyper-responsiveness

The study aim is to determine the effect of 8 weeks of anti-reflux treatment (full acid suppression) on bronchial hyper-responsiveness and whether there is a symptomatic improvement.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Methacholine Sensitivity
Time Frame: baseline and 8 weeks

Concentration of methacholine (mg/ml) at which participants forced expired volume in 1 sec (FEV1) is reduced by 20% (the provocation concentration of methacholine causing a 20% fall in FEV1-PC20).

To measure if there is a significant difference in PC20 recorded at baseline to that recorded following 8 weeks treatment with omeprazole and ranitidine
