Chronic Cough and Small Fiber Neuropathy (CHROCOS)
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Chronic cough is a very common entity that affects 9.6% people worldwide. Given the high number of patients with refractory cough, the concept of cough hypersensitivity syndrome (CHS) has emerged. In CHS, afferent sensory nerves may exhibit a modification of activation patterns with facilitation of encoding signals in response to irritating stimuli. Similar patterns with neuropathic pain have been described. Small fiber neuropathy has never been assessed in chronic cough. Interestingly, diabetic patients experienced cough more frequently than healthy subject. We hypothesized that small fiber neuropathy may explain chronic cough is more frequent in diabetic patients.
Within 60 days after inclusion, diabetic patients with and without chronic cough will perform neurophysiological tests such as electromyography, thermotest, QSART (Quantitative Sudomotor Axon Reflex Test and Sudoscan), cardio-vascular tests to study the autonomic nervous system. No risks are expecting with these non-invasive tests. A skin biopsy to evaluate small fiber neuropathy will also be performed.After the neurophysiological tests, a consultation will be scheduled at 6 months. A cough VAS and LCQ will be used to assess cough.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Proportion of patients with small fiber neuropathy
Time Frame: 6 month after inclusion visit
|
The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients with small fiber neuropathy between diabetic patients with chronic cough and those without chronic cough (defined by at least 2 abnormal neurophysiological tests).
|
6 month after inclusion visit
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
proportion of patients with abnormal results of the thermotest
Time Frame: 6 month after inclusion visit
|
estimate the proportion of patients with abnormal results of the thermotest in each arm (with and without chronic cough)
|
6 month after inclusion visit
|
proportion of patients with pathological results of the sudori-motor response
Time Frame: 6 month after inclusion visit
|
estimate the proportion of patients with pathological results of the sudori-motor response in each arm (with and without chronic cough)
|
6 month after inclusion visit
|
the proportion of patients with abnormal results of cardiovascular tests
Time Frame: 6 month after inclusion visit
|
estimate the proportion of patients with abnormal results of cardiovascular tests assessing the autonomic nervous system in in each arm (with and without chronic cough)
|
6 month after inclusion visit
|
proportion of patients with abnormal results of laser evoked potentials
Time Frame: 6 month after inclusion visit
|
estimate the proportion of patients with abnormal results of laser evoked potentials in each arm (with and without chronic cough)
|
6 month after inclusion visit
|
proportion of patients with abnormal findings of cutaneous biopsy
Time Frame: 6 month after inclusion visit
|
estimate the proportion of patients with abnormal findings of cutaneous biopsy in in each arm (with and without chronic cough)
|
6 month after inclusion visit
|
values of Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) in diabetic patients
Time Frame: 6 month after inclusion visit
|
estimate the values of Leicester Cough Questionnaire in diabetic patients with and without chronic cough.
The Leicester Cough Questionnaire comprises 19 items and takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
Each item assesses symptoms, or the impact of symptoms, over the last 2 weeks on a seven-point Likert scale.
Scores in three domains (physical, psychological and social) are calculated as a mean for each domain (range 1 to 7).
A total score (range 3 to 21) is also calculated by adding the domain scores together.
Higher scores indicate better quality of life.

6 month after inclusion visit
|
values of the DN4 questionnaire in diabetic patients
Time Frame: 6 month after inclusion visit
|
estimate the values of the DN4 questionnaire in diabetic patients with and without chronic cough. It allows to estimate the probability of neuropathic pain in a patient, through 4 questions divided into 10 check items. The practitioner questions or examines the patient and completes the questionnaire himself. He notes a response ("yes", "no") to each item. At the end of the questionnaire, he counts the answers and assigns the note 1 for each "yes", and the score 0 for each "no". The sum obtained gives the score of the patient, scored out of 10. |
