Summary

The goal of this randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical trial is to develop and test the efficacy of an Internet-based behavioral intervention for refractory chronic cough. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What are the best recruitment pathways to find people living with refractory chronic cough in Montana? * Is Internet-Behavioral Cough Suppression Therapy (iBCST) efficacious? * Do iBCST participants find it satisfactory? * Is using Hyfe research app to monitor cough frequency feasible in rural areas? Participants will complete iBCST or a placebo treatment virtually. Some participants will take part in qualitative interviews and use Hyfe research app for ambulatory cough frequency monitoring.
