The science of getting smell back.

Smell is tied to taste, memory, safety, and mood — and losing it is consistently rated among the most distressing chronic symptoms patients report. The research program treats olfaction as a system that can be measured, protected during surgery, and actively rehabilitated.

The omega-3 supplementation trial for persistent COVID-related olfactory dysfunction tested an accessible intervention for a condition with few options; the parosmia work characterized the distorted-smell syndrome that follows viral injury; and long-term outcome studies after frontal sinus surgery quantified how much olfaction CRS patients actually regain.

The clinical side of this program lives on the loss of smell page — workup, treatment, and what research participation can offer when standard options are exhausted.
