Drug trial offers hope for people who lost their sense of smell

NCT ID NCT07171021

Summary

This study tested whether a drug called theophylline could help people regain their sense of smell after a head injury. 158 adults who had not improved with standard treatments were randomly assigned to take either theophylline plus smell training or just smell training for six months. Researchers measured changes in participants' ability to detect and identify smells to see if the drug made a difference.
