A new clinical toolkit has been designed to improve the management of vocal cord dysfunction.

Also known as inducible laryngeal obstruction, this condition affects about up to 70 per cent of people with chronic cough, 20 per cent of people with asthma and 10 per cent of high-level athletes.

It can be tough to diagnose and people can be put onto unnecessary or harmful treatments if it’s not identified.
