Effects of Aging on Nasal Mucociliary Clearance
An International Journal Clinical Rhinology, 2011 ABSTRACT Nasal mucociliary clearance is a primary physiological defense mechanism of upper as well as lower respiratory tract, and thus maintains the state of health of the respiratory tract. Any disturbance in number or movement of cilia and change in character or amount of mucus production leads to an altered nasal mucociliary clearance.

Evaluation of Nasal Mucociliary Clearance Time in Patients with Schizophrenia
Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, 2023 Nasal mucociliary clearance time (NMCT) is prolonged in patients with olfactory disorders. It is essential to differentially diagnose conductive and neural olfactory disorders. Here, we used the mucociliary clearance test to investigate a disease associated with neural olfactory disorders, i.e. schizophrenia.
