SOURCE-LINKED STUDY SUMMARY
Testosterone-Related Voice Change in Cisgender Women: A Survey of Prescribers and Voice Clinicians.
Abstract summarized · Quality not appraised
- Studied
- A cross-sectional survey asked prescribers and voice clinicians about suspected testosterone-related voice changes in cisgender women.
- Who / model
- Respondents were 72 medical providers and 87 voice clinicians, not a cohort of treated patients. Fifty-five providers prescribed testosterone to cisgender women.
- Studied dose & schedule
- Dose and schedule have not yet been extracted for this summary.
- Found
- Among voice clinicians, 71% of laryngologists and 83% of speech-language pathologists reported treating suspected cases. Deeper pitch and reduced vocal range were common complaints. Counselling and management varied.
- Limits
- Standardized diagnostic criteria were absent, and clinicians often relied on clinical judgement and the timing of symptoms.
