Abstract

Objective: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and various pelvic dysfunctions are best assessed by consultants with knowledge and training in myofascial pain. The prevalence of myofascial pain is recognised but what is needed is a validated protocol to guide physical examination of pelvic structures. Pain mapping was developed to assist with localising active and passive sources of pain, evaluating its severity, temporal characteristics, topography and mechanisms and guiding therapy.
