- Abstract
The article reports a study which examined literature evidence which exists on management of chronic cough in patients receiving palliative care. The review of the literature revealed 11 studies on management of chronic cough. Of these, only five provided levels of evidence of 2 or above; the remainder were case reports or case series. This indicates that there is very little evidence to support guidelines for the management of chronic cough in advanced, progressive disease.
