Slow walking study for loss of smell
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if a slow walking program can help prevent Parkinson's disease in people with a reduced sense of smell. You will be randomly assigned to a walking group or a control group and followed for 18 months.

This study tests whether a special smell training program can help older adults who have both a reduced sense of smell and early memory concerns. The training is done at home and may slow down memory decline.
This study looks at why sense of smell changes as people get older. By participating, you may help researchers better understand smell loss in aging, which could lead to earlier detection of health issues.
This study tests a smell training program for people who lost their sense of smell after a viral infection like a cold or flu. If you've had smell loss for more than 3 months but less than 2 years, this training might help you regain your sense of smell.
This study tests whether a special device can help older adults regain their sense of smell through regular training with different scents. It is designed for people who have lost smell due to aging or other causes, not from birth.
This study tests whether structured smell “training” can improve smell problems. It’s mainly for people who have had reduced smell for more than 6 months but less than 5 years.
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.
