The effect of inhaled menthol on upper airway resistance in humans: A randomized controlled crossover study

BACKGROUND: Menthol (l-menthol) is a naturally-occurring cold receptor agonist commonly used to provide symptomatic relief for upper airway congestion. Menthol can also reduce the sensation of dyspnea. It is unclear whether the physiological action of menthol in dyspnea reduction is through its cold...
