摘要
背景/目的比较被诊断患有各种慢性疼痛（CP）的女性的性功能、生殖器疼痛和满意度。方法从 2023 年 4 月到 2024 年 1 月，1006 名女性完成了一项在线协议，她们被分为五组（慢性头痛组（CH）、纤维肌痛组（FM）、外阴炎组（VU）、合并症组（CO）和健康对照组（HC））：VU 组生殖器疼痛发生率最高（97.93%），其次是 CO 组（74.29%）和 FM 组（55.91%）。方差分析显示，与 HC 和 CH 相比，FM、VU 和 CO 的性功能得分较低。VU 和 CO 的满意度得分低于其他组别。除对照组外，生殖器疼痛是所有组别中枢敏化的主要预测因素。结论：本研究强调了将生殖器盆腔疼痛评估和解决相关性困难纳入 CP 诊断和护理以提高整体福祉和 QoL 的重要性。
Role of sexuality in women with chronic pain: Results from an Italian cross-sectional study on chronic headache, fibromyalgia, and vulvodynia
Background/objectives
To compare sexual functioning, genital pain, and satisfaction among women diagnosed with various Chronic pain (CP) conditions. Additionally, it seeks to explore the role of sexual factors in predicting levels of central sensitization (indicative of CP-related mental and physical distress), physical, and mental quality of life (QoL) for each condition individually.
Methods
From April 2023 to January 2024, 1006 women categorized into five groups (Chronic Headache - CH; Fibromyalgia - FM, Vulvodynia - VU, Comorbidity group - CO, and Healthy Controls - HC) completed an online protocol.
Results
All groups reported sexual impairment: VU group exhibited the highest genital pain prevalence (97.93 %), followed by CO (74.29 %) and FM (55.91 %). ANCOVAs indicated lower sexual functioning scores for FM, VU, and CO compared to HC and CH. VU and CO reported lower satisfaction scores than other groups. Genital pain emerged as the primary predictor of central sensitization across all groups except controls. Regarding mental QoL, sexual satisfaction was significant for CH and CO, while genital pain and sexual satisfaction were significant for VU.
Conclusion
This study emphasizes the importance of integrating genito-pelvic pain assessment and addressing related sexual difficulties in CP diagnostics and care to enhance overall well-being and QoL.
