Training your sense of smell to help after COVID
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether structured smell (olfactory) training can improve ongoing smell problems after COVID-19. It may help people whose sense of smell hasn’t fully returned long after the infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can read and understand French and can give written consent
- You have reliable internet access and a working email address
- Your smell loss did not start before COVID-19
- You do not have long-term sinus disease (with or without nasal polyps)
