ABSTRACT: Gastroesophageal reflux induced cough is a common cause of chronic
cough, and proton pump inhibitors are a standard therapy. However, the patients
unresponsive to the standard therapy are difficult to treat and remain a
challenge to doctors. Here, we summarized the experience of successful resolution
of refractory chronic cough due to gastroesophageal reflux with baclofen in three
patients. It is concluded that baclofen may be a viable option for
gastroesophageal reflux induced cough unresponsive to proton pump inhibitor
therapy.
