Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting up to one in five reproductive-aged women.

It is associated with clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism, oligomenorrhea, and polycystic appearance of ovaries in ultrasonography. Voice changes have been traditionally recognized as a feature of PCOS for years. However, voice analyses of patients with PCOS are limited. The human larynx is a highly hormone-sensitive target with the presence of hormonal receptors within the vocal folds, and vocal changes occur in relation to the fluctuations in the sex hormones. During the reproductive years and throughout the menstrual cycle, vocal changes have been reported in almost one-third of nonprofessional voice users.The aim of this work is to evaluate the voice characteristics among women with PCOS

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting up to one in five reproductive-aged women.

It is associated with clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism, oligomenorrhea, and polycystic appearance of ovaries in ultrasonography. Voice changes have been traditionally recognized as a feature of PCOS for years. However, voice analyses of patients with PCOS are limited. The human larynx is a highly hormone-sensitive target with the presence of hormonal receptors within the vocal folds, and vocal changes occur in relation to the fluctuations in the sex hormones. During the reproductive years and throughout the menstrual cycle, vocal changes have been reported in almost one-third of nonprofessional voice users. Hyperandrogenism is a landmark in the diagnosis of PCOS, and androgen-related voice changes in women have been recognized.The aim of this work is to evaluate the voice characteristics among women with PCOS The study will include 50 women with and without PCOS. They will divided into 2 groups. Group I will comprise of the 25 women in the clinical group diagnosed with PCOS on ultrasound, while Group II will comprise of 25 typical women as controls Patients will be selected from Obstetric gynecological clinics of El Minna University Hospital .This study is approved by the ethics committee in the Faculty of medicine, Minna university hospital, and concents will be obtained from subjects.

Methods

1. History taking.
2. Abdominal ultrasonography
3. voice sample by recording (in sustained vowel \|a\| )
4. Auditory Perceptual Assessment (APA)
5. Arabic voice handicap index (VHI): For measurement of the voice severity with the Arabic version of VHI
6. laryngoscopic examination Patients will taken to a room with a tower on which the 8.5 mm 70 rigid laryngoscopic (KARL STORZ - endoscope) (Tele pack X LED).
7. Acoustic analysis: The voice sample will be subjected to computerized acoustic analysis using Multidimensional voice program software(MDVP).

The results will be presented in tables and charts.Statistical analysis:Parametric and non-parametric tests included in statistical package for social science version 19 .The level of significance for this study is at 0.05.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group I

Group I (women with PCOs on ultrasound)

Acoustic Analysis by MDVP

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Acoustic measurements: Acoustic analysis using Multidimensional voice program software (MDVP) will be carried out with the sustained /a/vowel for 9 seconds, for measuring frequency, jitter, shimmer and harmonic to noise ratio of the voice

Group II

group II(Group II will be women rated to have a normal voice as assessed using Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice, these women have a regular menstrual cycles and no PCOS on ultrasound)

Acoustic Analysis by MDVP

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Acoustic measurements: Acoustic analysis using Multidimensional voice program software (MDVP) will be carried out with the sustained /a/vowel for 9 seconds, for measuring frequency, jitter, shimmer and harmonic to noise ratio of the voice
