Threshold capsaicin concentrations required to elicit five coughs (C5) in capsaicin tussive challenges in participants with cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and vestibular areflexia–associated chronic cough (CANVAS-CC) and non–CANVAS-associated RCC. Data are displayed as geometric mean (SD). *Data for healthy control subjects (median age, 42 years; 63% women) showing C5 geometric mean (159 μmol · L−1), reported by Prudon and colleagues using identical methodology (3). RCC = refractory or unexplained chronic cough.
