Tracking smell recovery after a recent cold
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at what affects how well your sense of smell comes back after an upper respiratory infection (like a cold). It may help researchers understand which recovery paths are more likely and why.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a recent upper respiratory infection (for example, a cold or flu).
- Before the infection, your sense of smell was normal.
- Your smell problem started around the time of that infection.
- There is no other likely reason for your smell changes based on your history.
