Female Pelvic Pain Scale

The Female Pelvic Pain Scale (FPPS) is a standardized self-report instrument designed to assess the severity and functional impact of pelvic pain conditions in women, including dysmenorrhea, pelvic inflammatory disease, interstitial cystitis, and pelvic pain of unclear etiology. By measuring pain intensity, location, timing, and associated functional limitations, the FPPS enables clinicians to quantify baseline pain burden and track treatment response.
