Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To present the technique and usefulness of conscious pain mapping.
DESIGN: Prospective, observational study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).
SETTING: Gynecology departments of a university-affiliated hospital and a private community hospital.
PATIENTS: Fifty consecutive women undergoing diagnostic microlaparoscopy.
INTERVENTIONS: Conscious pain mapping was performed in all 50 women.
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Conscious pain mapping helped to identify foci of chronic pelvic pain. The appendix and pelvic adhesions accounted for a significant amount of pelvic pain in these women.
CONCLUSIONS: Conscious pain mapping helps to uncover sites of pelvic pain that might not be identified during traditional laparoscopy under general anesthesia.
