Pain mapping is a feasible method to understand endometriosis pain distribution. This technique helps identify where patients feel pain, particularly noting differences in location compared to endometriosis-free individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Pain Medicine
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Endometriosis is a condition causing pelvic pain.
  • Accurate pain localization is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Current methods for pain assessment may lack anatomical specificity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create pain maps for endometriosis patients and controls.
  • To describe pelvic pain distribution.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of pain mapping.

Main Methods:

  • 159 patients with pelvic pain undergoing laparoscopy were included.
  • Pain distribution was mapped.
  • Patients were categorized into endometriosis and endometriosis-free groups.

Main Results:

  • 117 patients had endometriosis, 42 did not.
  • Pain distribution differed between groups in peripheral anatomical structures.
  • Endometriosis patients most frequently reported pain in the rectouterine pouch.

Conclusions:

  • Pain mapping is feasible for assessing preoperative pain in endometriosis.
  • Pain from vaginal examination is often perceived as median to lesion location.
  • Anatomical and neurophysiological factors may influence pain perception.
