Nasal Inhalation Influences on Smell Function

Nasal Inhalation Influences on Smell Function

Brief description of study

The aim of this study is to see whether nasal inhalation can help recover smell loss.

Quantitative olfactory testing will be initially performed on the participants.  Such testing will require approximately one hour of the participant’s time. Each participant will subsequently be sent in the mail a box that contains a set of 10 felt-tipped “wands” and instructions on how to sniff the wand tips before and after going to bed. Additionally, each subject will be provided with a diary to be filled out each day after having smelled through the odorants the evening before and the morning upon awakening. After 4 months, the participants will be retested on the olfactory tests and the training kits will be returned.
