Some studies examined issues related to melatonin's effects and its use as adjuvant therapy for COVID\u201019. Despite some studies suggesting that melatonin may have potential in the treatment of COVID\u201019, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no trials that have used it to treat anosmia associated with the disease. Few articles identified proposed that melatonin might have an effect on olfactory cells.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Further experimental and clinical research on the role of circadian melatonin in the olfactory system is warranted. This will provide evidence of the use of melatonin in the management of anosmia. A number of identified studies suggest that the imbalanced release of melatonin by the pineal gland associated with sleep disturbance may play a role in anosmia, although the specific pathway is not yet entirely clear. This may be a base for further research into the potential role of melatonin as adjuvant treatment of anosmia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jdn.10208","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,29]],"date-time":"2022-06-29T13:54:25Z","timestamp":1656510865000},"page":"465-470","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Could melatonin have a potential adjuvant role in the treatment of the lasting anosmia associated with COVID\u201019?
