Conscious pain mapping effectively identifies sources of chronic pelvic pain, including the appendix and adhesions. This technique aids in diagnosing pain not found during standard laparoscopy.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecological surgery
  • Pain management
  • Diagnostic techniques

Background:

  • Chronic pelvic pain affects numerous women.
  • Traditional laparoscopy under general anesthesia may not identify all pain sources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the technique of conscious pain mapping.
  • To evaluate the usefulness of conscious pain mapping in identifying pelvic pain foci.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, observational study.
  • Fifty women undergoing diagnostic microlaparoscopy.
  • Conscious pain mapping performed during microlaparoscopy.

Main Results:

  • Conscious pain mapping successfully identified foci of chronic pelvic pain.

  • The appendix and pelvic adhesions were significant contributors to pelvic pain in the study group.

    • Conclusions:

    • Conscious pain mapping is a valuable tool for uncovering pelvic pain sites.
    • This technique complements traditional laparoscopy by revealing pain sources missed under general anesthesia.
