title: Distribution analysis of intrauterine pressure in nonpregnant dysmenorrheic women.
abstract: Very few attempts to describe, codify , and implement analysis of intrauterine pressure data have occurred in the past. With a growing interest in intrauterine pressure during dysmenorrhea, the need for new ways of evaluating pressure data have become more acute. The availability of fast, compact microcomputers to process these data provides a tool which may make this goal attainable. In addition to purely mathematical analysis, graphic representations of the changing relationships of pressure and time are also possible. This type of graphic display of data may convey information more rapidly and allow subtle relations to be appreciated more easily. One such display technique, pressure distribution analysis, has been developed and appears to be useful in monitoring dysmenorrhea therapy. The method of the display's development along with examples of its use are presented.
