{Abstract}: UNASSIGNED: Olfactory disorders significantly affect individuals, diminishing their capacity to detect dangers, appreciate flavors, and engage socially. Despite their considerable impact on quality of life, these disorders often receive less attention compared to other sensory impairments. This review emphasizes the importance of olfactory function and explores both traditional and innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
UNASSIGNED: This review comprehensively covers the pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges, and treatment options for olfactory disorders. It delves into the nuances of different disorders, such as anosmia and parosmia, and discusses the array of diagnostic tools from traditional sniff tests to advanced imaging techniques. The review also evaluates therapeutic strategies, from pharmacological treatments to emerging therapies like electrical stimulation and regenerative medicine, highlighting recent advances in the field.
UNASSIGNED: Current insights suggest a growing recognition of the significance of olfactory disorders, driven by recent pandemics and advances in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. Future perspectives indicate a promising direction toward more personalized medicine approaches and enhanced regenerative therapies. Continuous research and improved clinical awareness are critical for evolving the management strategies of olfactory impairments, potentially leading to better patient outcomes and quality of life enhancements.
