Study: NCT06589375

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Group type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
Intervention: Sniffin'Sticks
Description: The Sniffin' Sticks test, a validated method to evaluate olfactory functions, utilizes pen-like devices to dispense scents for testing identification, discrimination, and detection of odors. In this study, participants' responses to various scents are recorded. EEG (Electroencephalography) captures electrical activity in the brain during exposure to these odors by using an EEG cap fitted with electrodes on the scalp. This allows for the monitoring of brain wave patterns in response to olfactory stimuli. Both the Sniffin' Sticks test and EEG recordings are conducted simultaneously, providing a dual assessment of behavioral reactions and brain activity to odors. The goal of the study is to compare brain wave patterns and olfactory function in normosmic (normal smell), hyposmic (reduced smell), and tinnitus patients with and without olfactory impairments, delivering comprehensive insights into the neural basis of olfactory perception.
