A new questionnaire effectively screens for chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in women. This validated tool helps physicians diagnose CPP by identifying key symptoms in the lower abdominal region.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Urology
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • A validated screening tool is needed for diagnosing chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in women with lower abdominal pain.
  • Current diagnostic methods lack a standardized primary screening instrument.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an easy-to-use questionnaire as a validated primary screening test for diagnosing CPP.
  • To assess the reliability and validity of a novel CPP screening questionnaire.

Main Methods:

  • 577 women from the general population completed a questionnaire on chronic pelvic symptoms.
  • Validation included construct validity, comparison with prior studies, and content validity.
  • Internal consistency was assessed to ensure questionnaire reliability.

Main Results:

  • Most questionnaire items, excluding voiding symptoms and dyspareunia, were valid and interrelated.
  • Items occurred significantly more often in women with CPP.
  • Low back pain, dyspareunia, and evacuation problems showed no significant differences between community and outpatient CPP groups.

Conclusions:

  • The developed CPP questionnaire is a validated tool for primary screening.
  • This instrument can aid physicians in the initial diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain.
