The recovery is defined as 2 consecutives negative (rRT-PCR) samples.\n\nComplete medical history will be taken, and essential clinical assessment with appropriate protective measures will be performed in all patients.The patients in the study will be randomly divided into two groups: - Group I: -who will receive topical corticosteroid nasal spray (mometasone furoate nasal spray) beside olfactory training Group II: -who will not receive topical corticosteroid nasal spray but only olfactory training.\n\nAs regards the assessment of smell,the patient will assess his smell sensation using familiar substances with distinctive odor. A jar of coffee, a branch of mint and garlic are some used substances. The patient will report the degree of anosmia subjectively with score on a scale from 0 to 10.The assessment of smell will be done initially after recovery/discharge, after 1 week, 2 weeks and after 3 weeks for all patients. The duration of smell loss will be recorded from the onset of anosmia till full recovery of the sensation.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* adults 18 yrs or older patients\n* confirmed case (+ve PCR),\n* recovered/discharged (2 -ve PCR),\n* suffered from sudden recent anosmia or hyposmia\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* patients already on nasal steroid\n* with previous chronic rhinological pathologies,\n* patients on systemic steroid for previous systemic disease,\n* anosmia improved before COVID19 recovery,\n* pregnancy\n* patients who will not complete the follow up period.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04484493', 'briefTitle': 'Corticosteroid Nasal Spray in COVID-19 Anosmia', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Benha University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Role of Corticosteroid Nasal Spray in Recovery of Smell Sensation in COVID-19 Patients', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'RC 4-7-2020'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'mometasone nasal spray', 'description': 'Patients will receive topical corticosteroid nasal spray (mometasone furoate nasal spray) in appropriate dose of 2 puff in each nostril (100 µg once daily) beside olfactory training.', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: mometasone furoate nasal spray']}, {'type': 'NO_INTERVENTION', 'label': 'control', 'description': 'Patients will not receive topical corticosteroid nasal spray but only olfactory training.'}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'mometasone furoate nasal spray', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['steroid nasal spray'], 'description': 'dose of 2 puff in each nostril (100 µg once daily each nostril).', 'armGroupLabels': ['mometasone nasal spray']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '13512', 'city': 'Banhā', 'state': 'Qalyubia Governorate', 'country': 'Egypt', 'facility': 'Benha University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 30.45977, 'lon': 31.1842}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Abdelrahman A Abdelalim, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Benha University'}, {'name': 'Rasha A Elsayed, MD', 'role': 'STUDY_CHAIR', 'affiliation': 'Benha University'}, {'name': 'Mona A Elawady, MD', 'role': 'STUDY_CHAIR', 'affiliation': 'Benha University'}, {'name': 'Abdelhakim F Ghallab, MD', 'role': 'STUDY_CHAIR', 'affiliation': 'Benha University'}, {'name': 'Ayman A Mohamady, MD', 'role': 'STUDY_CHAIR', 'affiliation': 'Benha University'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Benha University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'MD lecturer', 'investigatorFullName': 'Abdelrahman Ahmed Abdelalim', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Benha University'}}}}
