N2 - The aim of this study was to evaluate the maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) and maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) of Jordanian patients (19 females and 20 males) with multiple sclerosis (MS). A control group of 28 females and 26 males was included for the purposes of comparison. For the MS group, MIP results were as follows: female = 53.5 ± 36, male = 88.6 ± 40.9. MEP results were: female = 37.7 ± 13, male = 8.94 ± 30.3. The control group results were as follows: MIP female = 56.2 ± 43.8, male = 109.2 ± 49.8; MEP results were female = 70.9 ± 16.7, male = 115 ± 44.8). The control group results were as follows: MIP female = 56.2 ± 43.8, male = 109.2 ± 49.8; MEP results were female = 70.9 ± 16.7, male = 115 ± 44.8). In the patient group, there were significant differences between the two genders' MIP and MEP values (P = 0.00). Significant differences were also found between the MS group and control group in MEP values (P = 0.00) but not in MIP values (P = 0.208). Possible psychosocial consequences of MS on Jordanian patients were measured using the Voice Handicap Index (VHI)-Arab with the following results for female patients: functional = 7.3 ± 6.9, physical = 6.7 ± 7.1, emotional = 5 ± 6.8, and total = 19 ± 19.7 and for male patients: functional = 8.4 ± 8.5, physical = 9.8 ± 9.3, emotional = 9.6 ± 11.4, and total = 27.7 ± 19.7. The VHI-Arab scores for female controls were as follows: functional = 5.1 ± 3.6, physical = 4.4 ± 2.9, emotional = 1.9 ± 2, and total = 11.4 ± 6.3). Male controls VHI-Arab scores were as follows: functional = 3.8 ± 3.4, physical = 5 ± 3.6, emotional = 1.2 ± 1.4, and total = 10.1 ± 6.2. Significant differences were found between the MS group and control group in the VHI-Arab functional domain (VHIF) (P = 0.006), physical domain (VHIP) (P = 0.006), emotional domain (VHIE) (P = 0.00), and total score (VHIT) (P = 0.00) values. In conclusion, MS can limit effective communication and may cause higher perception of voice handicap.
