Chronic cough may be multifactorial. A subset of patients may have a neurogenic cough, secondary to irritation of the superior laryngeal nerve. Superior laryngeal nerve blocks may be an efficacious treatment for neurogenic cough. Neuromodulating medications may be used in the treatment of chronic cough, but may have side effects. There are no reported serious adverse effects from superior laryngeal nerve blocks. Prospective, placebo-controlled studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of superior laryngeal nerve blocks for the treatment of chronic cough.
