Topical PRP vs PRP injection for smell disorders
This study tests whether topical PRP applied with a carrier or PRP delivered by injection into the nasal area can improve smell in adults with long-standing olfactory dysfunction.
-
Investigating the effects of endoscopic skull base surgery on smell

Slow-SPEED UK: A Double-Blind Feasibility Trial for a Digitally Supported Activity Program in Adults 40+ with Smell Loss
We’re testing whether a smartphone-enabled, wearable-guided activity plan can be safely and practically used by adults 40 and over who have a reduced sense of smell and low activity, to see if people can stick with it and accept it.

Investigating olfactory dysfunction after COVID-19 infection
This study is trying to understand why some people still have trouble smelling after recovering from COVID-19 by looking at samples from their noses.
