Mucosal and Nasal Involvement and Their Correlation With Smell and Taste Functions in Lichen Planus Patients
Sponsor: Istanbul Training and Research Hospital
Summary
This study investigates smell and taste function in patients diagnosed with lichen planus, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the skin and mucous membranes. Adults aged 18-65 with lichen planus participated in taste and smell tests. Oral and nasal examinations were performed to check for mucosal involvement, and nasal endoscopy was used to further evaluate nasal involvement. A healthy control group of similar age also underwent taste and smell tests to compare results with the lichen planus patients. The study aims to better understand how lichen planus affects smell and taste, which may help improve patient care. Participation is voluntary, and all information collected will be kept confidential.
