Platelet-rich plasma nasal injection for smell distortion
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether injecting a concentrated part of your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) into your nose can help improve a distorted sense of smell called parosmia. You will also do smell training at home, which is the current standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your sense of smell has been distorted (not just lost) for at least 6 months but less than 2 years.
- The distortion started after a cold, flu, or other upper respiratory infection.
- You are not taking blood thinners (like warfarin or clopidogrel) and do not have a bleeding disorder.
- You are able to read and understand English and give your consent.

This trial tests whether injecting a concentrated solution from your own blood, called platelet-rich plasma (PRP), into the nose can help restore the sense of smell in people with smell dysfunction. It may offer a new treatment option for those who haven't improved with other therapies.
This study tests if a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) can improve smell loss caused by aging or head injury. The goal is to see if it's safe and if it helps people regain some sense of smell.
This trial tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) can help restore your sense of smell after an infection, and whether adding insulin makes it work better. You’ll receive the treatment inside your nose, and the study will compare the two options.
This study tests whether an injection of your own platelet-rich plasma (a concentrated part of your blood that helps healing) can improve your sense of smell. It is designed for people who have completely lost their smell (anosmia) without a known cause like injury or nasal blockage.
This trial tests whether steroid nose drops placed in the upper part of the nose, combined with smell training (sniffing different scents), can help people who lost their sense of smell after an infection. The goal is to see if this combination improves smell recovery better than training alone.
This study looks at why people with nasal polyps lose their sense of smell and how it might come back. You may be able to join if you have had nasal blockage, runny nose, smell loss, or facial pain for at least 12 weeks, have polyps seen inside your nose, and are using a steroid spray regularly.
