The Effectiveness of Nortriptyline and Tolerability of Side Effects in Neurogenic Cough Patients.

CONCLUSION: Nortriptyline is effective for treating neurogenic cough with 72% of patients reporting improvement in cough. Evidence of laryngeal asymmetry was not associated with better treatment response. Although 38% experienced side effects, the majority of patients continued nortriptyline despite side effects.
