Abstract
Background: It has been shown that vestibule structural alterations may have an impact on the physiological alterations that take place during menstruation. As the cycle progresses, the hormone levels change at various times. As a consequence, it is critical to research the hormonal impacts on females' otolith-ocular pathways because otherwise, the findings of oVEMP might be misinterpreted depending on the menstrual cycle's various phases. Objective: The current research set out to quantify the variations in the delay and amplitude of the oVEMP test throughout the course of three mensuration cycles. Methods: Methods: The study was conducted at Jinnah Hospital Lahore. It involved twenty females who were in good health, and their otolith-ocular systems were evaluated using oVEMP throughout the menstrual cycle. The research looked at three unique menstrual cycle phases: the monthly phase, which lasts for four days, the ovulation phase, which lasts for six days between days 12 and 17, and the luteal phase, which lasts for five days between days 18 and 22. The final evaluation was performed on days 22-28 of the same menstrual cycle. Results:oVEMP was present in each of the three menstrual cycle phases for every individual. Freidman's Chi-square test, which is nonparametric, was used on the acquired non-normal data. The findings revealed no significant differences in participants' three oVEMP recordings in terms of latency or amplitude characteristics, showing that hormonal shifts had no discernible impact on female participants' oVEMP recordings. Conclusions:It's possible to argue that using an electrical test like the oVEMP to evaluate the vestibular system won't distinguish between women depending on the timing of their menstrual cycles.
