Arms & Interventions
OT grroup
Olfactory training used repeated stimulation of different olfactory substances at high concentrations, combined with odor association and odor identification training, twice in the morning and evening, each time for 5 minutes, for 15 weeks.
Intervention: Olfactory training (Device)
No intervention group
There were only pre-test and post-test without any intervention
Outcomes
