Summary

This randomized clinical trial will evaluate the benefit of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of qualitative olfactory dysfunction (parosmia). PRP can be isolated from a patient's own blood and has been found in previous studies to have anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative properties. It has been used across multiple specialties, such as Orthopedics, Facial Plastics, Dermatology, Neurology in injected form to treat a wide variety of tissues to encourage the body's inherent regenerative capacity. The investigators have completed a randomized controlled trial here, ending in 2022, evaluating it's use in post-SARS-CoV-2 olfactory loss which demonstrated safety and efficacy. Therefore, the investigators aim to assess the ability of PRP to improve olfactory function in patients with parosmia.

Conditions

  • Paraosmia

Interventions

OTHER

Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intranasal injection in the treatment of qualitative olfactory dysfunction (parosmia). This is taken from a blog draw from the patient themselves, and thus no external drug/biologic product will be given - only the concentrated plasma portion from the patient's own blood.

OTHER

Saline

Saline intranasal injection (sham injection)
