Olfactory training for loss of smell after COVID-19
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether daily smell training can improve smell loss caused by COVID-19. It may help people regain smell and possibly reduce related symptoms like distorted smells.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses brain imaging and electrical recordings to understand the brain's role in smell loss from any cause—like COVID, sinus problems, or chemotherapy. You may be eligible if you have any degree of smell loss lasting under a year.
This study looks at whether a specific brain protein (alpha-synuclein) is linked to other neurologic symptoms in people who have long-lasting smell loss. It may help researchers understand what causes smell loss and how it relates to later brain or nerve changes.
This study tests whether a daily smell training routine can help improve your sense of smell. It is open to adults with any kind of smell loss or problem, including those with conditions like COVID-19 or head injury, but not certain brain diseases.
This study tests whether using steroid nose drops combined with smell training helps people who lost their sense of smell after a viral illness. If you have ongoing smell problems after a cold or COVID, this treatment might help you regain your sense of smell.
This study tests a new way of doing smell training to help people whose sense of smell has not recovered after a viral illness. It may help you smell things better again.
