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 conditions and gives an individualized approach and measure regarding the symptoms and activities that are effected by the symptoms.
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. [2]
- Simple to administer[2]
- Sensitive to clinical change[2]
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.[3]
