The Headache Impact Test?? and the Short Pain Inventory??

Abstract: Background:The psychometric properties of the Headache Impact Test ® (HIT) were compared with the 17-item Short Pain Inventory © (SPI) in 75 primary-care patients presenting with headache. A specialist neurologist made formal diagnoses consistent with the International Headache Society classification. We compared the severity of the headaches and the diagnostic labels with the ability of the SPI and the HIT to discriminate severity and diagnosis. Aim:To compare and contrast the psychometrics of the HIT and the… Show more

“…[69][70][71][72] HIT is also a sensitive diagnostic aid for headache. [73] Both the MIDAS and HIT tools provide scientifically reliable and valid measures of headache impact and show great potential for wide utility in clinical practice. However, there are marked differences between the two tools.…”

“…• HIT appears to be particularly useful as a diagnostic tool, as the HIT score correlates with specific headache disorders. [73] MIDAS was not designed to be a diagnostic tool. • Unlike MIDAS, HIT has not been used in stratified-care protocols.…”

“…Experimental design and analysis should differentiate patients who did not use relief analgesia for 24 hours and other subcohorts to exclude confounding of analgesimetry. 6 8. Primary and secondary endpoints may include diary cards with simple 4-or 5-point Likert rating scales of pain intensity or disability/interference scaled items.…”
