SUFU 2021: Measuring Widespread Pain Using a Body Map: A Mapp Network Proposal
It was administered 5 times, at weekly intervals to 578 male and female UCPPS participants. The participants recorded the sites and rated the pain severity (0-10 NRS) where they had experienced pain during the previous week. The 76 sites were classified into 13 contiguous regions (1 pelvic region and 12 non-pelvic regions). The degree of widespread pain was scored from 0-12 based on the number of reported non-pelvic pain regions with any pain rating. Continuous body map scores were correlated with other measures of widespread pain, as well as UCPPS symptom severity. The body map scores (0-12) showed limited variability over the 5 weekly assessments. The score demonstrated a very high correlation with other measures of widespread pain, p4 resulted in only marginal increases in these correlations. This group endorses the use of this 13-region body map in the clinical assessment of UCPPS patients as it provides reliable data about the presence of widespread pain and does not require measurement of pain severity.
