Chronic Cough and laryngeal hypersensitivity
A persistent cough or constant need to clear your throat can be exhausting — especially when medical investigations haven't found an answer, or treatment hasn't fully resolved it. Speech pathology offers an evidence-based, non-medication approach that treats chronic cough as a sensitised, overactive reflex that can be retrained.
Our chronic cough therapy program is grounded in current best-practice guidelines and typically works alongside your GP or respiratory specialist, laryngologist and gastroenterologist. Sessions focus on identifying your cough triggers, breathing and laryngeal control
techniques, and strategies to reduce the urge to cough or clear your throat.
Conditions we treat:
- Chronic refractory cough
- Laryngeal hypersensitivity
- Inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO)
- Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO)
- Paradoxical vocal fold movement (PVFM)
- Chronic throat clearing
- Globus sensation
