Abstract
The McGill pain questionnaire (MPQ) was administered to 166 women attending Gynecology Clinics complaining of dysmenorrhea. Responses were subjected to factor analysis with 4 dimensions emerging. These reflected sensory qualities of the pain experience and factors related to the reaction component of the pain. These results are considered in relation to factorial analysis of the MPQ among back patients and in terms of treatment implications.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
