Chronic Cough and Small Fiber Neuropathy
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse
Summary
Diabetic patients with and without chronic cough will be included in this study. After giving their informed consent, the patients will perform a spirometry, chest X-ray at the inclusion visit. Cough will be assessed using the cough visual analog scale (VAS) and the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ). Within 60 days, the patient will perform neurophysiological tests. The neurophysiological assessment will be concluded with a skin biopsy to evaluate small fiber neuropathy. The aim of the study is to compare the proportion of small fiber neuropathy between diabetic patients with chronic cough and those without chronic cough.
