This systematic review aims to investigate the effectiveness of classical olfactory training in the treatment of olfactory dysfunction compared to modified training or no\u2010intervention control groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This systematic literature review follows the PRISMA protocol and is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022357528). The databases used for the search were PubMed MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase. Randomized clinical trials carried out in adults with olfactory disorders and published in all languages until December 2023 were included. The quality assessment of these studies was conducted using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of eight studies, involving 896 participants with olfactory dysfunction, were included in the analysis.
