Osmotexia and the somatosensory dimension of smell: toward a fourth axis in chemosensory evaluation
Osmotexia facilitates the systematisation of tactile descriptors frequently reported by patients but not captured by standard tests, thus revealing diversified perceptual profiles in subjects with similar olfactory scores. This approach facilitates the characterisation of qualitative smell disorders, the monitoring of olfactory rehabilitation, and the expansion of the clinical language of smell.
