Data-driven diagnosis and clinical presentation of high-tone pelvic floor dysfunction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite widespread agreement that high-tone pelvic floor dysfunction is highly prevalent among women with pelvic pain, there is no consensus regarding standardized assessment strategy or diagnostic criteria. Furthermore, there are scant primary data regarding clinical presentation of high-tone pelvic floor dysfunction and most existing literature related to symptoms is based on expert opinion rather than patient-reported data. The lack of consensus in diagnostic assessment and data regarding clinical presentation associated with this condition creates substantial barriers to improving clinical identification and evaluating efficacy of treatment strategies.

Objective

To identify a pelvic myofascial tenderness score that corresponded to patient-reported reproduction
