The use of platelet‐rich plasma in treatment of olfactory dysfunction: A pilot study

摘要

Background Olfactory dysfunction is a prevalent problem with a significant impact on quality of life and increased mortality. Limited effective therapies exist. Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous biologic product with anti‐inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. This novel pilot study evaluated the role of PRP on olfactory neuroregeneration in patients with hyposmia.
