Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections into the Olfactory Clefts of Patients with Olfactory Dysfunction: An Updated Clinical Practice
09-12, 08:00–08:30 (Europe/Istanbul), Phoniatrics 4 + Swallowing

<p>The injection of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in the olfactory cleft is a promising approach in the management of patients with a long-lasting post-viral olfactory dysfunction. To date, several controlled studies supported its superiority over olfactory training but many grey areas persist, particularly the physiological mechanisms underlying the functioning of PRP, indications where PRP could have a benefit on recovery, and the required number of injections for having the maximum effect of PRP and duration interval between injections. In this session, three experienced practitioners will discuss about the usefulness, protocol and perspectives of PRP injections.</p>
