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]
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]
