  • Title: Breaking the cycle: lidocaine therapy for habit cough.
    Author: Sherman JM.
    Journal: J Fla Med Assoc; 1997; 84(5):308-9. PubMed ID: 9260434.
    Abstract:
    Habit or psychogenic cough is a common problem of unknown etiology with a variety of suggested therapies. A postulated mechanism is a cough which causes vibration of the airway walls, irritation and more cough. Nebulized lidocaine breaks this cycle and allows control and resolution of the cough.
