Evaluation of the efficacy of the ‘nasal airflow‐inducing manoeuvre’ for smell rehabilitation in laryngectomees by means of the Sniffin′ Sticks test

Abstract: The nasal airflow inducing manoeuvre is a method for the successful rehabilitation of the sense of smell in laryngectomees. The evaluation with the Sniffin' Sticks tests showed a clinically relevant increase of olfaction in 80% of patients. The teaching of the nasal airflow inducing manoeuvre should be included in post-laryngectomy rehabilitation programmes.

“…After that, the patient is required to choose the option that best describes the odorant. The test scores range from 0 (worst) to 40 (best), which classifies the olfactory function as normosmia (34-40 for men; 35-40 for women), slight microsmia (30-33 for men; 31-34 for women), moderate microsmia (26-29 for men; 26-30 for women), severe microsmia (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25), anosmia (06-18) e possible cheater (00-05) (17) . This test has been validated for the Brazilian population (18) .…”
