Ultrasound of the uterus in women with painful periods
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique (elastography) to measure the stiffness of the uterus in women with painful periods. It aims to understand how the uterus changes during menstruation and may help guide future pain treatments.
