Yes, if you paid for the Cobra premiums with after-tax dollars, then you can deduct under medical expenses on schedule A.

The total medical expenses will need to exceed 10% (7.5% for those born before 1/2/52) of your AGI to receive a benefit. You can always enter your medical expenses and TurboTax will determine if you meet the thresholds.
