Research progress in the treatment of sensorineural olfactory dysfunction

Sensorineural olfactory dysfunction refers to the reduction or distortion of sensory intensity due to insufficient reception or processing of stimulation by olfactory receptors, olfactory sensory neurons or central nervous system. As olfactory dysfunction can affect patients' physical and mental health and even safety of life and the etiology of sensorineural olfactory dysfunction is complicated, it has great clinical significance for understanding the development of olfactory dysfunction's treatment. This article summarizes the current promising treatment for sensorineural olfactory dysfunction, including drug therapy, cell therapy, gene therapy and olfactory training.
