A case control survey and dysmenorrhea in a family practice population: a proposed disability index.
Dysmenorrhea, though rarely coded as a diagnosis in the records of family physicians, is a common problem in their female patients. Responses to a questionnaire indicated that at least 50 percent of women experience menstrual pain at one time with a minimum of 29 percent experiencing pain in any two-month period. The average duration of pain was greater than one day. A disability index was developed which revealed that half the women were Grade 3, or severely disabled. This study suggests that menstrual pain is a common problem in family practice and clearly ranks as a major cause of temporary disability in women patients.nave features a holy water font, a window and a broken bell chamber on the west wall. A high semi-Gothic arch divides the nave from the chancel, which may be a later addition to the church. A recess in the north wall reportedly served as a tomb like a similar structure in Kilfenora Cathedral. A prominent hood is crowned by a mitred head. A recess in the south wall may have once been a window with two Gothic arches topped by a carved head wearing a flat cap. It was reconstructed in a drawing by Thomas Johnson Westropp.

Aodh Buí Mac Cruitín was buried in an unmarked grave in the churchyard.

The parish also holds two ruined castles: Dough and Liscannor.
