OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effect of early comprehensive olfactory rehabilitation training on olfactory recovery after nasal endoscopy in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and olfactory impairment. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 67 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis combined with olfactory impairment in our hospital from July 2018 to August 2020. Patients were divided into control group and observation group according to the time of implementing comprehensive olfactory rehabilitation training. The control group received non-early comprehensive olfactory rehabilitation training at 2 weeks after nasal endoscopy, and the observation group received early comprehensive olfactory rehabilitation training at 1 week after nasal endoscopy. The minimum detection/recognition threshold, olfactory threshold, olfactory function and quality of life were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: After 3 months of training, T&T olfactory test scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The minimum detection scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group after 1, 2 and 3 months of training, and the recognition scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The scores of olfactory threshold, odor discrimination, and odor identification of the observation group after 1, 2 and 3 months of training were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). After 3 months of training, the self-description scores of quality-of-life questionnaires in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Early comprehensive olfactory training can improve the olfactory threshold and odor discrimination of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis combined with olfactory impairment after nasal endoscopy, improve the quality of life, and have a positive effect on olfactory recovery.
