This trial tests if steroid drops placed directly in the nose can improve smell in people with chronic sinusitis and a blocked smell area. It may help if you have had smell loss and sinus inflammation.
This study looks at how abnormalities in the smell area (olfactory cleft) affect smell in people with chronic rhinosinusitis. You'll have smell tests before and after sinus surgery to see if the surgery helps.
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 study tests if the medication dupilumab can improve smell loss in people with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps. Researchers will check if blocking in the nose and electrical signals in the brain can predict who will benefit.
This study tests whether a special smell training program can help people with chronic sinusitis improve their sense of smell after sinus surgery. If you have ongoing smell loss three months after surgery, you may be able to join.
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.
