However, current imaging methods to assess this activity provide little information and are limited by subjectivity and lack of sensitivity. A recent pilot study has shown the potential of intracavitary electrohysterography (IC\u2010EHG) to study peristalsis in the uterine fundus. This study aimed to generalize previous results, compare peristalsis in other uterine regions, and study more peristaltic features.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This prospective multicenter cohort study included 40 healthy women with proven fertility. IC\u2010EHG signals were recorded from different uterine sites for 30\u2009min during three menstrual phases: mid\u2010follicular (MF), early luteal (EL), and late luteal (LL) using a custom\u2010designed multipolar catheter. Primary outcomes: contraction frequency (CT\/min)\u00a0and amplitude (\u03bcV); secondary outcomes: basal amplitude, contraction time percentage, contractility index and local organization index. Statistical comparisons between phases and regions were performed using Wilcoxon signed\u2010rank tests.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 95 fundal and 90 lower\u2010segment IC\u2010EHG recordings were analyzed. Contraction frequency peaked during the EL phase (fundus: 3.91 CT\/min; lower segment: 4.01 CT\/min) and was lowest during MF (fundus: 3.28 CT\/min,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.042; lower segment: 3.65 CT\/min,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.024). Fundal contraction amplitude decreased progressively from MF (16.27\u2009\u03bcV) to LL phase (10.56\u2009\u03bcV,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Basal amplitude, contraction time percentage and contractility index were also lowest in the LL phase for both uterine regions. Except for frequency, fundus peristaltic activity features were smaller than those of the lower segment, significantly during the MF phase. Local coordination index revealed lower local cell organization in the fundus across all phases, with maximum coordination during EL in both regions (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.01).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>IC\u2010EHG technique enables objective, reproducible, and quantitative assessment of multiple aspects of uterine peristalsis, revealing distinct regional and cycle\u2010phase\u2013dependent patterns. The decline in most contractile features during the LL phase supports the physiological uterine quiescence required for embryo implantation. The uterine fundus is more active during the MF phase. This study provided reference values for healthy, fertile conditions and could inform further investigation of alterations due to disorders or intervention strategies.<\/jats:p>\n
