Creating a body map using named locations

[jgburg]

Dear Eric,

Is it possible to create a body map in CHOIRBM using named locations for pain distributions instead of the numeric system?

I would like to plot each individual and create a heatmap of the pain distribution by group on a pain mannequin.

If you have have ideas/suggestions please let me know.

Hi Jamie, is there a standard nomenclature for named distributions? Otherwise it would be necessary to provide a mapping from the numeric system to named distributions each time you generate a graphic.

Hi Eric, Thanks for your message. Would it be possible to clarify whether there is a list of regions/body parts which are associated with each number? This would be good to add to our prospective data collection from pain questionnaires with a mannequin.

In my experience, researchers have chosen to group different numbered sections of the map into larger regions that suit their specific needs. For example, these authors (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8577690/) grouped it like this:

I have seen it done a few other ways too, where different numbers are associated with a particular body part (or vice versa). Is there a particular type of graphical output that you are looking for?

@jgburg have you figured out your body-part grouping scheme? If so, then I will close this issue.

Hi Eric, Thanks for your message. Yes, I believe those approaches will work. If I get stuck with the coding could I contact you again?
