ArmTypeInterventionsDescription
OT grroupExperimentalDevice: Olfactory trainingOlfactory 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.
No intervention groupNo interventionThere were only pre-test and post-test without any intervention
  • Olfactory training (Device): 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.

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

  • Olfactory Function Test [baseline;15 weeks]: The olfactory test developed by the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences was used to evaluate the olfactory ability, including threshold, discrimination, and recognition.

Secondary outcomes

  • MoCA [baseline;15 weeks]
  • Pittsburgh sleep quality index [baseline;15 week]
  • HAMA [baseline;15week]
  • HAMD [baseline;15 week]
