There is a growing interest into the investigation of smell disorders in both research and clinical practice. For psychophysical ("subjective") investigations related to the sense of smell a variety of test kits are available, namely the various "Sniffin' Sticks" kits, the UPSIT (University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test) or the CCSIT (Cross-Cultural Smell Identification Test). Recording of olfactory evoked potentials (OEPs) and respiration olfactometry can be used for diagnosing smell dysfunctions in a more objective way.
