U.S., April 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07546617) titled 'In Vivo Imaging of the Olfactory Epithelium Using Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy' on April 16.
Brief Summary: This research is being done to better characterize the part of the nose that helps us smell. Currently, the only ways to study smell loss mostly rely on how people report it, rather than being able to see the underlying structures directly. In this study, we will use a special microscope (Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE)), originally developed for brain tissue, to look at the part of the nose that helps to detects smell. We hope to identify the tiny structures in that area and see how they might be different in people who...
