This randomized clinical trial will evaluate the benefit of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of qualitative olfactory dysfunction (parosmia). PRP can be isolated from a patient's own blood and has been found in previous studies to have anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative properties. It has been used across multiple specialties, such as Orthopedics, Facial Plastics, Dermatology, Neurology in injected form to treat a wide variety of tissues to encourage the body's inherent regenerative capacity. The investigators have completed a randomized controlled trial here, ending in 2022, evaluating it's use in post-SARS-CoV-2 olfactory loss which demonstrated safety and efficacy. Therefore, the investigators aim to assess the ability of PRP to improve olfactory function in patients with parosmia.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) | Active Comparator | Participants receive PRP intranasal injection into the olfactory cleft three times, separated by two weeks each. Blood is drawn from the patient. This is placed in a centrifuge and using a specialized PRP kit (Emcyte), the sequential spinning process isolates the platelet-rich plasma portion of the blood and we inject that back into the patient within the nasal cavity. |
|
| Saline | Active Comparator | Participants receive saline injections into the olfactory cleft three times, separated by two weeks each. (Sham/placebo injections). |

| Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) | Other | Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intranasal injection in the treatment of qualitative olfactory dysfunction (parosmia). This is taken from a blog draw from the patient themselves, and thus no external drug/biologic product will be given - only the concentrated plasma portion from the patient's own blood. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Sniffin Sticks Parosmia Test (SSParoT) | The test consists of a total of 22 sticks, 11 of which are pleasant odors and 11 of which are unpleasant odors. In this test, the test subject is offered a pair of sticks, 1 with an unpleasant odor and 1 with a pleasant odor. The SSParoT is the first test to measure qualitative olfactory function. This test uses hedonic estimates of two oppositely odors (pleasant and unpleasant) to assess the Hedonic Range (HR) and Hedonic Direction (HD). These values represent the qualitative olfactory perception. | Assessed at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months |
| Change in questionnaire of olfactory disorders (QOD) scale score | The QOD is a 25-item validated instrument in the measurement of olfactory-specific QOL (total score on 75) described by Hummel et al. Patients will undergo nasal endoscopy as part of their initial standard of care appointment to exclude structural causes of smell loss including mass or tumor, as well as ensuring there is no structural obstruction to the olfactory cleft such as severe septal deviation. | Assessed at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months |
