简要总结
This study investigates smell and taste function in patients diagnosed with lichen planus, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the skin and mucous membranes.
Adults aged 18-65 with lichen planus participated in taste and smell tests. Oral and nasal examinations were performed to check for mucosal involvement, and nasal endoscopy was used to further evaluate nasal involvement.
A healthy control group of similar age also underwent taste and smell tests to compare results with the lichen planus patients.
The study aims to better understand how lichen planus affects smell and taste, which may help improve patient care. Participation is voluntary, and all information collected will be kept confidential.
详细描述
The study aims to evaluate the impact of lichen planus on olfactory and gustatory functions in adults aged 18-65. Participants with lichen planus underwent taste and smell testing, oral and nasal mucosal examinations, and nasal endoscopy to detect potential mucosal involvement. A matched healthy control group also completed taste and smell tests to provide comparative data. This design allows the assessment of whether mucosal involvement in lichen planus correlates with changes in taste and smell, which may contribute to better clinical understanding and management of the disease.

结局指标
主要结局
Smell and Taste Function
时间窗: Day 1
Participants underwent standardized smell (olfactory) and taste (gustatory) tests to assess sensory function. Tests were performed on both lichen planus patients and healthy controls to compare results and evaluate the impact of mucosal involvement on smell and taste function. Time Frame: Single visit assessment
