Intrauterine pressure analysis in nonpregnant dysmenorrheic women

Past attempts to describe, codify , and implement analysis of intrauterine pressure data have been limited. With a growing interest in intrauterine pressure in dysmenorrhea, the need for multiple, well-defined, reproducible parameters has become greater. The availability of fast, compact microcomputers has provided a tool that makes this goal attainable. Using an X-Y digitizer and microcomputer (Apple II+), a system measuring 12 parameters has been designed and implemented. These parameters are easily assessed and determined with the aid of the computer and have distinct clinical usefulness.
