ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at the oral and smell-related problems that some people experience after recovering from COVID-19. Researchers want to understand how long these symptoms last and if they are related to how severe the COVID-19 illness was. This study is important because it can help identify what causes these issues, which could lead to better treatments for those affected.

If you are an adult who has recovered from COVID-19 and it’s been at least three months since your illness, you may be eligible to participate in this study. However, individuals with certain conditions, like psychiatric or neurological diseases, or those who have had prior oral or nasal surgeries, won’t be included. Participants will undergo evaluations to assess their oral health and senses of taste and smell. This trial is currently recruiting, and all genders aged 18 and older are welcome to join. Your involvement could contribute valuable information to help others who are experiencing similar challenges after COVID-19.
