Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Impact of a Sensory Rehabilitation Program on Olfactory-gustatory Alterations in Patients Treated With Chemotherapy for Haematological Cancer

Study Description

Brief Summary: Proposition of a sensory rehabilitation program that could reduce the olfactory-gustatory alterations in patients who have been treated with chemotherapy for Haematological Cancer, and also improve their life quality, psychological well-being, and nutrition.

Detailed Description: Disturbances in taste and smell affect a considerable proportion of patients treated with chemotherapy. In hematology, dysgeusia depends on the type pathology and the treatments themselves. It impacts the quality of life, leads to significant emotional and social consequences, affects the intake, weight and nutritional status of patients. Olfactory-taste disorders can be assessed using subjective and objective tests. There are no international clinical recommendations for the management of taste and olfactory disturbances associated with chemotherapy in hematological cancers. Also, this study proposes to evaluate a taste and olfaction rehabilitation program based on national standards and recent research. It will help fill gaps in the assessment and management of patients treated for Haematological cancer. Hypothesis is that this sensory rehabilitation program should make it possible to reduce the olfactory-gustatory changes in patients who have been treated with Chemotherapy for Haematological cancer and significantly improve their quality of life, their psychological well-being and their nutrition.
