Abstract

Zusammenfassung

Etwa 5 % der Bevölkerung leiden unter einer funktionellen Anosmie, bei weiteren 15 % ist die Riechfunktion eingeschränkt. Ein Grundpfeiler der Behandlung durch den HNO-Arzt ist die Beurteilung der chemosensorischen Funktion durch psychophysische Riech- und Schmecktests. Die Verwendung standardisierter validierter Instrumente ist zwingend erforderlich, um Patienten nach dem neuesten wissenschaftlichen Stand über Therapieverfahren beraten zu können.

Abstract

Approximately 5 % of the general population is affected by functional anosmia. An additional 15 % exhibit decreased olfactory function. Many of these individuals ask ENT-doctors or neurologists for help. A cornerstone of the counselling process is the assessment of olfactory function. The aim of this work is to give a differentiated overview about the administration of commonly used psychophysical tests for olfactory and gustatory function including their normative data. The use of standardized, reliable and validated tools is mandatory to provide patients with state-of the-art counseling on treatment options.

Schlüsselwörter
