Since the global outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a symptom of the onset of SARS-CoV-2, olfactory dysfunction (OD), has attracted tremendous attention. OD is not only a negative factor for quality of life but also an independent hazard and early biomarker for various diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases. Therefore, early identification and treatment of OD in patients are critical. Many etiological factors are responsible for OD based on current opinions. Sniffin’Sticks are recommended to identify the initial position (central or peripheral) for OD when treating patients clinically. It is worth emphasizing that the olfactory region in nasal cavity is recognized as the primary and critical olfactory receptor. Many nasal diseases, such as those with traumatic, obstructive and inflammatory causes, can lead to OD. The key question is no refined diagnosis or treatment strategy for nasogenic OD currently. This study summarizes the differences in medical history, symptoms, auxiliary examination, treatment and prognosis of different types of nasogenic OD by analyzing the current studies. We propose using olfactory training after 4–6 weeks of initial treatment for nasogenic OD patients with no significant improvement in olfaction. We hope that our research can provide valuable clinical guidance by systematically summarizing the clinical characteristics of nasogenic OD.

“…Obwohl hier kein Behandlungserfolg bezüglich der Hyposmie vorliegt, ist eine mögliche Wirksamkeit körpertherapeutischer Verfahren beim betreffenden Beschwerdebild keineswegs ausgeschlossen. Gerade für die Akupunktur wurde hierüber berichtet [ 4 , 5 , 6 ], auch durch Studien zu idiopathischer Schmeckstörung [ 7 ] und postinfektiöser Riechstörung [ 8 ]. Der Name des in der Nasolabialfalte gelegenen Akupunkturpunktes Di 20 Yingxiang „Empfang des Duftes“ [ 9 ] weist auf beobachtete Wirkungen hin.…”

SummaryWährend der Covid-19-Pandemie war eine Zunahme von Angst und Depressionen zu beobachten. Die Patienten suchen nach medizinischer Unterstützung, auch bei psychischen und psychosomatischen Symptomen. Am Beispiel eines Falles passagerer Spontanbesserung einer Covid-19-assoziierten Hyposmie nach körpertherapeutischer Komplexbehandlung in der psychosomatischen Rehabilitation diskutiert der Beitrag den scheinbaren oder tatsächlichen Therapieerfolg einer multimodalen Behandlung.

“…Te process of acupoint injection is that the syringe needle is injected vertically without blood refuxing, which generates needle feeling; then, the syringe needle slowly injects the solution under the skin of bilateral acupoints. As a promising method for olfactory dysfunction, TCM has the advantages of internal and external treatment, defnite clinical curative efects, and no obvious adverse reactions [19,[26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

Objective. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for postviral olfactory dysfunction (PVOD). Methods. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, China Network Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP), Chinese Biomedical and Medical (CBM) Database, and Wanfang Database were electronically searched from their inception to July 25, 2022. Two authors independently performed study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment to ensure systematic quality evaluation. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing TCM with olfactory training and/or drug therapy (OTDT) were included. The outcomes were the effective rate, QOD-P, TDI score, UPSIT score, and adverse effects. Cochrane RoB was the guideline used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included trials. RevMan 5.3 software was used for statistical analysis. Results. A total of 6 RCTs involving 467 patients with PVOD were selected. Compared with OTDT, TCM plus OTDT decreased QOD-P (MD = −1.73, 95% CI (−2.40, −1.06), P < 0.0001 ) but did not increase the effective rate (T&T) (RR = 1.28, 95% CI (0.86, 1.90), P = 0.22 , I2 = 61%). Compared with no treatment, TCM seemed to increase the treatment success rate (UPSIT) (RR = 3.17, 95% CI (1.78, 5.65), P < 0.0001 , I2 = 0%), but there was no statistically significant difference in improving the UPSIT score (MD = 3.44, 95% CI (−1.36, 8.24), P = 0.16 ). Compared with drug therapy, TCM plus drug therapy appeared to increase the effective rate (ΔVAS) (RR = 2.36, 95% CI (1.41, 3.94), I2 = 0%), but there was no statistically significant difference in improving the TDI score (MD = 2.10, 95% CI (−1.99, 6.19), P = 0.31 ). No significant differences in adverse reactions were reported between TCM and OTDT. Conclusion. TCM may be an effective treatment for PVOD. With a lack of high-quality RCTs, further large-scale and high-quality RCTs are still warranted.
