Testing gabapentin to treat distorted senses of smell after a viral infection

This study is testing if a medicine called gabapentin can help people with a distorted sense of smell (parosmia) after a viral infection, like COVID-19. Parosmia makes everyday smells seem unpleasant. Researchers hope gabapentin, which calms nerves, can reduce these distorted smells.
