Auditory evoked potential study in young healthy females during different menstrual cycle phases

Lisha Vincent, Hoshea Jeba Ruth S

Abstract :

Introduction: The hormonal variation during menstrual cycle has its influence all over the body including CNS. BAEP is a non–invasive method to assess auditory information, thus it provides information about sensory processing. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate BAEP in normal healthy females during different menstrual cycle phases. Material and methods: A cross–sectional study, conducted among 80 females of age group 18–20years having regular menstruation. BAEP was recorded in 3 phases of the menstrual cycle. The data was analysed by one way ANOVA. Result: The BAEP waves showed statistically significant decrease in wave V and inter–peak latencies III–V and I–V in phase 2 and increase in phase 3. Conclusion: The study showed that BAEP wave changes are due to ovarian hormones, which modified the central processing of audition.
