Abstract: A pressure applicating assembly for treatment of menstrual cramps and other discomfort; the apparatus comprising a pressure applicator apparatus and a flexible strap. The pressure applicator apparatus comprises a plurality of styluses arranged in both a direction parallel to the strap and a direction perpendicular to the strap. The pressure applicator apparatus is secured to a patient using the strap in a manner to apply pressure to a tender location on an interior region of a patient's calf. The applied pressure can be employed to relieve the patient of menstrual discomfort by identifying the tender spot by applying light pressure to a menstrual discomfort controlling pressure region. The identified tender spots are considered the menstrual discomfort controlling pressure points. The plurality of styluses applies a distributed pressure to the region to ensure the tender spots are sufficiently addressed, thus relieving the patient of the discomfort.

Abstract: An pressure applicating band kit for treatment of menstrual cramps includes a flexible strap with a buckle and a free end. A stylus is attached to the buckle for applying pressure to a menstrual discomfort controlling pressure point on the patient's body when the strap is fastened. Cooperating fasteners are on the free end of the strap and the strap for securing the strap and maintaining pressure on the controlling pressure point. Software is also in the kit, which directs the operation of the treatment. The menstrual discomfort controlling pressure point is identified by applying light pressure to a menstrual discomfort controlling pressure region. The points that are most tender are considered the menstrual discomfort controlling pressure points. The pressure applicating band can comprise one or more stylus for applying pressure to one or more points to optimize the relief process.
