This study found significant differences on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire scales between chronic pelvic pain patients and control groups, suggesting EPQ profiles could personalize treatment for medically indigent women.

Abstract

The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) was administered to 108 chronic pelvic pain patients and 96 non-pain controls in a public sector ambulatory clinic, and to 58 private gynaecology outpatients without pain. Sharp differences emerged on all four EPQ scales. These data suggest that the evaluation and treatment of chronic pelvic pain in this group of medically indigent women can be made more individualized based upon abnormal EPQ profiles
