Additive effect of free-choice olfactory training combined with pharmacotherapy: A retrospective analysis of post-viral olfactory dysfunction
Combining conventional pharmacotherapy with OT produces an additive effect on olfactory recovery in patients with PVOD, increasing the improvement rate and shortening the recovery period. The free-choice OT protocol, allowing patients to select familiar odorants, represents a simple and practical method suitable for clinical application.
