What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in Bronchitis Severity Score (BSS) at Day 7

    The primary outcome measure is the change in total Bronchitis Severity Score (BSS) from baseline (Day 0) to Day 7 following administration of the investigational product. The BSS is a clinician-assessed tool used to evaluate five symptoms: cough, sputum, rales/rhonchi, chest pain during coughing, and dyspnea. Each symptom is scored on a scale from 0 to 4, yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 20.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Day 7

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in Bronchitis Severity Score (BSS) at Day 4

    The secondary outcome measure is the change in total Bronchitis Severity Score (BSS) from baseline (Day 0) to Day 4 following administration of the investigational product. The BSS is a clinician-assessed tool used to evaluate five symptoms: cough, sputum, rales/rhonchi, chest pain during coughing, and dyspnea. Each symptom is scored on a scale from 0 to 4, yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 20.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Day 4

  2. Change from baseline in individual BSS symptom scores at Day 4 and 7

    Change in the individual symptom scores of BSS (cough, sputum, rales/rhonchi, chest pain during coughing, and dyspnea) from baseline (Day 0) to Day 4 and 7

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Day 4 and Day 7

  3. Response rate based on BSS at Day 4 and Day 7

    The proportion of participants who show a total BSS score \<3 or a reduction of ≥7 points from baseline at Day 4 and Day 7

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Day 4 and Day 7

  4. Investigator-assessed overall improvement and treatment effectiveness at Day 4 and 7

    Evaluation of the participant's overall improvement by the investigator using the Integrative Medicine Outcome Scale (IMOS). Treatment effectiveness is defined as an IMOS score of 4 ("major improvement") or 5 ("complete recovery")

    Time frame: Day 4 and Day 7

  5. Participant-reported overall satisfaction and satisfaction rate at Days 4 and 7

    Participant-reported overall satisfaction assessed using the Integrative Medicine Patient Satisfaction Scale (IMPSS). Satisfaction is defined as an IMPSS score of 4 ("satisfied") or 5 ("very satisfied")

    Time frame: Day 4 and Day 7

  6. Change from baseline in COAT total score at Day 4 and Day 7

    Change in total score of the Cough Assessment Test (COAT), a participant-rated questionnaire assessing cough frequency, interference with daily life, sleep disturbance, fatigue, and hypersensitivity, each scored from 0 to 4 (total score: 0-20

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Day 4 and Day 7
