Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Aim: To investigated the association between tenderness of pelvic muscles and dyspareunia in women with CPP.Methods: Case-control study performed at tertiary care University Hospital and approved by local Research Ethics Committee.Fortyeight healthy female volunteers (control group) and 108 women with CPP (CPP group: 53 subjects with dyspareunia and 55 subjects without dyspareunia) were included.The tenderness of pelvic muscle (TPM) was scored bilaterally according to subject reactions: 0 no pain, 1 painful discomfort, 2 intense pain; total score: 6.The intensity of dyspareunia was classified according to the limitation of sexual activity.Intensity of pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) and McGill Pain Index (MPI).All participants were also submitted to the Beck Depression Index (BDI).Results: 89.0% of CPP group showed tenderness in levator ani, 51.0% in piriformis, and 31.7% in internal obturator muscles (P < 0.01).The TPM score median was 0 (0-4) for the control group and 3 (0-6) for the CPP group (P < 0.001).In the CPP group, patients with dyspareunia showed higher frequency of tenderness when compared to those without dyspareunia (75.5% and 42.0% respectively, P < 0.01), higher duration of pain (73.772 and 4960 months respectively, P < 0.05), higher BDI scores (22 and 13 respectively, P < 0.01).Neither VAS nor MPI were distinct between groups. Conclusion:The results suggest that tenderness of pelvic muscles is highly associated with dyspareunia in women with CPP.Causal association needs to be investigated.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
