The unmet need is to find a treatment which could achieve a meaningful olfactory improvement for patients with long-term (>2 years) COVID-19-related olfactory dysfunction(C19OD). To assess the efficacy of fSRP in improving OD in patients with persistent C19OD. Data were compared with a control group of C19OD patients on olfactory training(OT). Prospective-controlled cohorts study Methods: Subjects with persistent C19OD undergoing fSRP were enrolled. Those refusing fSRP continued with OT (control arm). Patients were followed up for 6 months. Olfaction was measured using Sniffin’ Sticks(S’S). Nasal airways were assessed using Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow(PNIF) and Acoustic Rhinometry(AR). Twelve patients underwent fSRP while thirteen formed the control group. All S’S scores significantly improved(p
