Objective: To identify which categories of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) are compromised in patients with migraine from the perspective of health professionals. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted at the headache outpatient clinic of the Clinical Hospital of Pernambuco, Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital and at the Motor Learning and Control Laboratory of the Federal University of Pernambuco. A five-section printed and online questionnaire based on ICF checkList 2.1 was used. Health professionals from different specialities who had experience in treating patients with migraine were invited. Professionals were instructed to complete the questionnaire and to choose, based on their clinical experience, which categories had the highest degree of impairment or the highest relationship with the clinical condition of migraine patients. A cut-off point of 70% for approval of categories was considered. Results: Sixteen professionals were enrolled in the survey. The questionnaire was compost by 106 categories, of which 32 reached the cutoff point of 70% to be considered approved. Among these categories, seven (21.8%) are part of the body functions component, five (15.6%) body structures, thirteen (40.6%) activities, and participation and seven (21.8%). of environmental factors. Conclusion: In the perception of health professionals, individuals with migraine present impairment in all domains of the ICF and the activity and participation domains presented the highest number of compromised categories.
PurposeTo identify the most frequent outcomes related to disability assessed in individuals with migraine and to correlate these findings with the categories of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.Material and methodThis scoping review was developed based on studies with adult population (18-55 years) of both sexes and assessing the disability generated by migraine. We included studies in which patients had a diagnosis of migraine based on International Classification of Headache Disorders.Results52 articles were found with 42 outcomes related to 17 categories of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, including the four main components of the classification, with seven categories in "Body Functions", one in "Body Structures", four in “Activities and Participation” and five in "Environmental Factors".ConclusionThe findings show that disabilities, activity limitation, or participation restriction generated by migraine can be classified by International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The components "body functions", "environmental factors" and "activities and participation" were the most identified in the present study. Thus, this classification is important to classify the disability caused by migraine and to guide a rehabilitation more focused onthe patient's real demands, as well as directing the research involving this population.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
