Voice Analysis in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
50 participantsStarted 2023-12
Plain-language summary
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

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
