NCT07151703
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether two different delivery methods of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can improve olfactory function in adults with persistent olfactory dysfunction lasting more than three months. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does carrier-assisted topical application of PRP lead to comparable or better improvement in smell function than intranasal injection of PRP? 2. Which method provides greater patient comfort and fewer adverse effects? Researchers will compare carrier-assisted topical PRP application to intranasal PRP injection to see if one approach is more effective in restoring olfactory function. Participants will: 1. Receive a single PRP treatment delivered either by injection or via a PRP-soaked carrier placed into the olfactory cleft. 2. Continue daily olfactory training for three months following the intervention. 3. Undergo smell testing (Sniffin' Sticks) before and after treatment and complete quality-of-life questionnaires.
NCT07122037
To assess the efficacy of two olfactory rehabilitation protocols (Nasal Airflow-Inducing Maneuver (NAIM) with or without ol-factory training) on olfactory function (sniffing stick test) and quality of life (questionnaire Self-MOQ and EORTC QLQ-H\&N35) in patients with total laryngectomy.

* Causes of olfactory dysfunction can be classified into conductive and sensorineural causes. * Conductive causes are mainly due to structural nasal problem, which can be treated by nasal surgery * Sensorineural causes included post-infection, post-head injury, post Head and Neck irradiation and other central nervous system diseases. * Olfactory Training is well established treatment for sensorineural olfactory dysfunction in foreign countries. * Olfactory Training by neurological chemosensory stimulation using aromatic substances delivered via electronic portable aromatic rehabilitation (EPAR) diffuser was proved to be effective treatment in COVID-19 related olfactory dysfunction in recent Hong Kong study. * However, there is a lack of local study on the effect of Olfactory Training in other non-COVID-19 sensorineural causes of olfactory dysfunction in Hong Kong population.
NCT05384561
Olfactory dysfunction is a defining symptom of COVID-19 infection. Studies have demonstrated improved olfaction in patients with post infectious olfactory dysfunction after an olfactory training (OT). The aim of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes of olfactory training (12 weeks) therapy in the treatment of persistent olfactory dysfunctions after COVID-19. Specially, we aim to compare the effectiveness of two different olfactory training (different odors). A group will train themselves with 4 scents (rose, orange, clove and eucalyptus) and another group with 4 different scents (cheese, coffee, strawberries and lemon). Olfaction sensory evaluation will be performed by using different olfaction tests (Sniffin' Sticks and UPSIT) and complete questionnaires to assess olfactory perception and particularly parosmia and phantosmia.
