2:00 - 3:30 PM WORKSHOP

PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATIONS OF CLINICAL CHEMOSENSORY TESTS Chair/Organizer: Thomas Hummel Jacaranda Hall This practical session is meant to provide a very practical overview about techniques that are used in a clinical context to assess chemosensory functions, including olfactory, gustatory, and trigeminal functions. In addition, techniques to address psychological/cognitive issues related to olfactory function and dysfunction will be shown. The various techniques will be presented by researchers experienced in clinical chemosensory research, including Bob Pellegrino from Philadelphia, Caroline Huart from Brussels, and Akshita Joshi from Bethesda and Thomas Hummel from Dresden. There will be 4 stations, and the participants would rotate clockwise through stations 1 to 4. They will stay at each station for 15 min. The 4 stations will be: Station 1: Smell testing (e. g, Sniffin Sticks, UPSIT, CCCRC test, SSParoT, retronasal testing): Thomas Hummel, Dresden, Germany; Station 2: Taste testing (e. g, taste sprays, taste strips, electrogustometry, PROP/PTC test): Robert Pellegrino, Philadelphia, PA, USA; Station 3: Trigeminal testing (e. g, lateralization, AMMOLA-test, oral capsaicin test, CO2 threshold): Akshita Joshi, Bethesda, USA; Station 4: Psychological testing/questionnaires (e. g, SNOT, QOD, WHO wellbeing, MOCA): Caroline Huart, Brussels, Belgium
