Investigating the Efficacy of OMT to Recover Olfactory Perception After COVID-19 (NCT06766279)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
One of the most widespread symptoms of COVID-19 is loss of the sense of smell. There are very few treatments for helping individuals recover their sense of smell. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) may be a useful tool in helping people recover their smell perception. In this study the investigators test whether OMT can be used to help individuals recover their sense of smell if they lost it during COVID-19.
