This clinical study aimed to compare the mucociliary clearance time in patients with OCD, a disease associated with neural olfactory disorders, with a healthy control group. The mucociliary clearance time of fifty-one patients with OCD and fifty-two healthy patients (control group) was compared. The saccharin nasal mucociliary clearance test (NMCT) was applied and recorded the sociodemographic data of all participants. The NMCT was longer in OCD patients than healthy controls. There was no statistically significant difference in sociodemographic data between the groups. Our results show that olfactory transmission pathways may be affected in OCD patients.

本临床研究旨在比较强迫症患者(一种与神经嗅觉障碍相关的疾病)与健康对照组的黏液纤毛清除时间。比较了51名强迫症患者和52名健康患者(对照组)的黏液纤毛清除时间。应用糖精鼻黏液纤毛清除试验(NMCT)并记录了所有参与者的社会人口统计学数据。强迫症患者的NMCT比健康对照组更长。两组之间的社会人口统计学数据没有统计学上的显著差异。我们的结果表明,强迫症患者的嗅觉传导途径可能受到影响。
