[Neuroendocrine investigation and therapy of the menstrual cycle disorders (author's transl)(proceedings)]

PIP: A group of patients with irregular menstrual cycles and who could not become pregnant underwent electroencephalography (EEG). 2 distinct types of EEG tracings were noted; therapy was based on these tracings, with administration of diphenyldantoin to one group of patients, nialamid to the other. Moreover, to be able to compare normal cycles to pathological ones, and to be able to appreciate an eventual therapeutic improvement, normograms were taken of 46 regular menstrual cycles. After 4 months of treatment 36, i.e. 68% of patients, were pregnant, and fertilization was obtained mostly during the 2nd and 3rd cycles of treatment.
