Associations (p values) of myofascial pain scores and patients' characteristics (N = 110). For associations with age, CCI, and max. BW Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used. For associations with parity, the Kruskal–Wallis test was used. For high PMFT, polychoric correlation was used. The significant correlations (p < 0.05) are presented in bold. CCI: Charlson Comorbidity Index. BW: Birth weight. PFMT: pelvic floor muscle tone.
