Targeting Neuroinflammation to Alleviate Chronic Olfactory Dysfunction in Long COVID: A Role for Investigating Disease-Modifying Therapy (DMT)?

Arianna Di Stadio et al.

Summary: Chronic olfactory dysfunction is a growing public health concern in patients with COVID-19-induced anosmia, with approximately 10% experiencing persistent loss. While olfactory training and anti-neuroinflammatory therapy have shown promise, some patients do not fully recover. This study compared the efficacy of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) for post-COVID-19 smell disorders and MS-related smell loss and found that DMTs may be effective in treating refractory olfactory loss. These findings highlight the importance of prospective trials to investigate the use of DMTs for persistent post-COVID-19 smell disorders.

Parosmia COVID-19 Related Treated by a Combination of Olfactory Training and Ultramicronized PEA-LUT: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Arianna Di Stadio et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of umPEA-LUT and olfactory training compared to olfactory training alone for the treatment of smell disorders in Italian post-COVID population. The study confirms the effectiveness of umPEA-LUT and olfactory training for quantitative smell alteration related to COVID-19, but its efficacy is limited for parosmia.

Long-term Consequences of COVID-19: Chemosensory Disorders

Bo Liao et al.

Summary: Olfactory dysfunction (OD) and gustatory dysfunction (GD) are common symptoms complained by COVID-19 patients, which may last for months to years. Female gender, initial severity of dysfunction, nasal congestion, emotional distress and depression, and SARS-CoV-2 variants have been identified as risk factors for persistent OD and GD in long COVID-19. The pathogenesis of OD and GD in long COVID-19 remains unknown, but may be similar to the persistent OD and GD after common respiratory viral infection. Corticosteroids and olfactory training might be potential treatment options, but more studies are needed to prove their efficacy.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate whether olfactory training performance can be optimized by using more fragrances over a shorter period of time in patients with persistent olfactory dysfunction (OD) following COVID-19. The results showed that increasing the number of fragrances for a 4-week training period did not have superiority over the classical method. Additionally, fluctuant olfaction was associated with higher scores on the Smell Identification Test (UPSIT).

COVID-19 and olfactory dysfunction: a looming wave of dementia?

Leslie M. Kay

Summary: Persistent olfactory dysfunction caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus may be the result of inflammation and damage to the sensory epithelium in the upper nasal cavity. This dysfunction may affect up to 15 million people worldwide. The virus can invade the olfactory bulb and lead to degeneration similar to Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia. Long-term olfactory dysfunction and cognitive and emotional disturbance from COVID-19 may indicate the onset of delayed dementia.

Summary: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is the loss of two or more pregnancies, affecting approximately 1 to 3% of women worldwide. There is a possible correlation between thrombophilic genetic variants and RPL, but the data are often conflicting. Further investigations evaluating genotype-phenotype correlations can improve clinical management and genetic counseling.

Topical Administration of Mometasone Is Not Helpful in Post-COVID-19 Olfactory Dysfunction

Constantin A. Hintschich et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of intranasally applied mometasone furoate on the recovery of olfaction post-COVID-19. The results showed no additional benefit of mometasone furoate compared to olfactory training alone. These findings contradict current management recommendations and suggest a need for adjustment.

Summary: COVID-19 is often associated with olfactory dysfunction, providing a research opportunity to study the natural course of this neurological finding. However, limited by sample sizes and lack of advanced neuroimaging data, there is still a substantial gap in knowledge regarding the mechanisms of olfactory impairment. Persistent olfactory deficits post-SARS-CoV-2 infection could potentially be a marker for increased long-term risk of neurological disease.
