KEYWORDS: Female, Pain, Pelvic/Perineal, Questionnaire, Quality of Life (QoL), Terminology
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common indication for referral to women’s health services, affecting 1 in 4 women (1) and costing up to an estimated £158 million annually to NHS (2). It is a subjective complaint which is difficult to assess and manage but important to be able to measure objectively to measure its burden, impact of quality of life and response to treatments and interventions. The International Continence Society (ICS) has defined CPP as persistent pain lasting longer than 6 months or recurrent episodes of abdominal/pelvic pain, hypersensitivity or discomfort often associated with elimination changes, and sexual dysfunction often in the absence of organic aetiology (3).
There are many pain scales and questionnaires available to assess intensity and impact, however not many have been validated, especially using the evolved and established new definition of pain as a complex condition, rather than a symptom. The aim of this prospective, cross-sectional, observational study is to produce a validated questionnaire to assess pelvic pain as per the ICS standard for terminology of chronic pelvic pain syndromes. This has not been done yet and will provide a valuable resource as a pain assessment tool in the future clinically and as a research tool.
