Eligibility criteria
Inclusion
Age 18-80
Quantifiable or subjective olfactory dysfunction
ability to complete objective olfactory tests and comply with olfactory training protocol
Exclusion
Anyone lower than the age of 18, or greater than the age of 80
Pregnant women, as sinonasal symptoms and changes in smell can occur in pregnancy and are multifactorial
Patients with poor or questionable compliance, as participation requires daily compliance with study protocol
Patient's that are unable to perform routine follow-up
Patients who are participating in another study during this trial
Patients with dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or other neurocognitive disorders, as these conditions are associated with baseline olfactory dysfunction.
Patients with other systemic conditions known to impact the sinonasal cavity such as Wegener's granulomatosis, Churg Strauss, and immunodeficiency, as their impact on olfaction is unknown
Patients who are allergic to any of the smells or components of our olfactory testing and training
What this trial measures
- Olfactory ThresholdChange from baseline to month 6
Changes in olfactory threshold when comparing pre- and post-olfactory training for performance in terms of percent correct per specific scent and overall combination of percent correct for all tested scents
- Olfactory IdentificationChange from baseline to month 6
Changes in ability to detect and identify scents when comparing pre- and post-olfactory training for percent detected per individual scents and as a composite score reflecting performance on all scents
