Correlação entre a panilha de dor pélvica e escala visual analógica

Abstract

A Pelvic Pain Spreadsheet (PPS) is proposed to measure the chronic pelvic pain and its consequenses. It adds to a describer of pain more 3 other describers which confer score based in duration of pain, in used analgesic medication and in a related functional disability scale with daily activities. The values obtained in the daily evaluation are graphically interpreted allowing the therapist or the researcher to associate them to a daily spreadsheet of activities. The objective of this work is to correlate data obtained by a new multidimensional tool, Pelvic Pain Spreadsheet (PPS), with the results of a unidimensional tool, Visual Analogic Scale, with a linear characteristic whose reliability has already been demonstrated. The non-linear correlation coefficient of Spearman "ñ" was 0,7599 showing a strong correlation.
