Introduction[edit | edit source]

The Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP) tool is a generic patient specific outcome tool to assess general health[1]. It can be used for musculo-skeletal or respiratory conditions and gives an individualized approach and measure regarding the symptoms and activities that are effected by the symptoms[2].

The second version of the MYMOP also asks the patient about analgesia including the doses which in the first version was not included.

Description[edit | edit source]

Advantages[edit | edit source]

  • The MYMOP has been shown to be effective at measuring clinical effectiveness associated with acupuncture treatments which are typically difficult to prove clinical improvement. [3]
  • Simple to administer[3]
  • Sensitive to clinical change[3][4]
  • Improves patient-practitioner communication[4]

Disadvantages[edit | edit source]

The initial version was criticized due to it not including information regarding medication used for the condition, this has been added in the second version of the MYMOP2.[5]
