Objectives: This study used semiology based on traditionalChinese medicine (TCM) to investigate vital energy(Qi) behavior in women with abdominal myofascialpain syndrome (AMPS). Methods: Fifty women diagnosed with chronic pelvicpain (CPP) secondary to AMPS were evaluated by usinga questionnaire based on the theories of “yin-yang,”“zang-fu”, and “five elements”. We assessed the followingaspects of the illness: symptomatology; specific locationof myofascial trigger points (MTrPs); onset, cause, durationand frequency of symptoms; and patient and familyhistory. The patients tongues, lips, skin colors, and tonesof speech were examined. Patients were questioned onvarious aspects related to breathing, sweating, sleepquality, emotions, and preferences related to color, food,flavors, and weather or seasons. Thirst, gastrointestinaldysfunction, excreta (feces and urine), menstrual cycle,the five senses, and characteristic pain symptoms relatedto headache, musculoskeletal pain, abdomen, andchest were also investigated. Results: Patients were between 22 and 56 years old,and most were married (78%), possessed a elementaryschool (66%), and had one or two children (76%). Themean body mass index and body fat were 26.86 kg/cm2(range: 17.7 — 39.0) and 32.4% (range: 10.7 — 45.7), respectively. A large majority of women (96%) exhibitedalterations in the kidney meridian, and 98% hadan altered gallbladder meridian. We observed majorchanges in the kidney and the gallbladder Qi meridiansin 76% and 62% of patients, respectively. Five of thetwelve meridians analyzed exhibited Qi patterns similarto pelvic innervation Qi and meridians, indicatingthat the paths of some of these meridians were directlyrelated to innervation of the pelvic floor and abdominalregion. Conclusion: The women in this study showed changesin the behavior of the energy meridians, and the pathsof some of the meridians were directly related to innervationof the pelvic floor and abdominal region.
