“…With regard to the MSQ, patients reported the following scores: role‐restriction (RR = 39.6), role‐prevention (RP = 52.2), and emotional function (EF = 51.0). These scores are slightly lower compared to those reported by episodic migraine patients and to those observed by Bagley and colleagues (RR = 44.4, RP = 61.4, EF = 48.3) and Rendas‐Baums and colleagues (RR = 44.6, RP = 62.2, EF = 59.7), but are similar to those reported by Raggi and colleagues (RR = 33.2, RP = 52.2, EF = 51.0), and referred samples of patients with chronic migraine. In the study by D'Amico and colleagues, both ECH and CCH patients had lower scores on SF‐36, with a significant difference compared to the general population for most QoL domains (ie, physical, emotional, and social dimensions, and those dedicated to the personal evaluation of health status).…”

Objective To summarize the available evidence on disability, quality of life (QoL), and economic burden on societies of cluster headache (CH), and to present which tools have been used to measure these domains with indications for future research. Background CH is a rare and severe primary headache. The focus of research on this disorder has historically been on understanding its complex pathophysiological mechanisms, whereas personal and global healthcare impact, disability, and QoL received little attention. Methods We reviewed the available literature published up to 2019, identifying primary research addressing QoL, disability, impact, or impairment in daily life due to episodic CH (ECH) or chronic CH (CCH), and its societal impact. Results CH produces a significant impact on sufferers QoL, disability, and work‐related aspects, with a stronger impact on CCH than ECH. The CH‐related disability appears to be greater than is seen in subjects with other primary headache disorders. Conclusions Information about patient‐reported outcomes is rarely collected in patients with CH. An effort to improve the amount of information on the lived experience of patients with CH is needed and CH‐specific disability and QoL measures require development.

“…Our results are consistent with MSQ v. 2.1 original study [14]. On the contrary we did not find the low relation between items 10, 11, and 12 with total scores as it was mentioned by similar studies [13, 24, 26]. …”

“…Also remarkable internal consistencies were reported for each dimension (Cronbach α = 0.84, 0.87, and 0.79 for RR, RP, and EF dimensions, resp.). Our findings match the results of prior studies, and EF dimension had the lowest Cronbach α since it had the least number of questions [13, 14, 24]. Similar to the previous study about MSQ validation for EM and CM patients, we found high internal consistency for both EM and CM patients ( α > 0.9) [25].…”

Background. Migraine-specific quality of life (MSQ) is a valid and reliable questionnaire. Linguistic validation of Persian MSQ questionnaire, analysis of psychometric properties between chronic and episodic migraine patients, and capability of MSQ to differentiate between chronic and episodic migraines were the aims of this study. Method. Participants were selected from four different neurology clinics that were diagnosed as chronic or episodic migraine patients. Baseline data included information from MSQ v. 2.1, MIGSEV, SF-36, and symptoms questionnaire. At the third week from the baseline, participants filled out MSQ and MIGSEV. Internal consistency (Cronbach alpha) and test-retest reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficients) were used to assess reliability. Convergent and discriminant validities were also assessed. Results. A total of 106 participants were enrolled. Internal consistencies of MSQ among all patients, chronic and episodic migraines, were 0.92, 0.91, and 0.92, respectively. Test-retest correlation of MSQ dimensions between visits 1 and 2 varied from 0.41 to 0.50. Convergent, item discriminant, and discriminant validities were approved. In all visits MSQ scores were lower in chronic migraine than episodic migraine; however, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion. Persian translation of MSQ is consistent with original version of MSQ in terms of psychometric properties in both chronic and episodic migraine patients.

“…It assesses the everyday functioning of women over the most recent four-week period of their lives. It consists of 14 items grouped into three subscales [12, 15, 17–19].

Role restriction (RR) questions 1–7 determine how the everyday activity of a patient is limited by the disease.

Role prevention (RP) questions 8–11 analyze to what extend everyday activities are disrupted by the disease or need to be ceased on its account.

Emotional function (EF) questions 12 –14 determine and evaluate the emotional dimension of the disease such as feelings of frustration or helplessness.

The usefulness of the questionnaire was determined by assessing its accuracy and reliability.…”

Background. Migraines are one of the most commonly occurring ailments affecting the nervous system. The aim of this research paper was to evaluate the effect migraines have on the everyday functioning of women. Method. The study involved women with diagnosed migraine headaches (IHS-2004) undergoing treatment at a neurological clinic. In order to evaluate the influence of headaches on the everyday functioning of women, a MSQ v.2 questionnaire was used, whereas pain severity was assessed on a linear VAS scale. Results. Among the clinical factors, the most influential was the frequency of headaches. Headache duration was particularly significant for women below the age of 40. Pain severity cited at 8–10 pts on the VAS significantly disrupted and limited everyday functioning. On the emotional function subscale, the most influential factors were age, education, and the frequency of headaches. Conclusions. On account of headache frequency emerging as the most significant influencing factor, it is of the utmost importance to inform patients of the value of taking prophylactic measures. Central to this is the identification of factors that trigger the onset of migraines. This approach would greatly aid the individual in choosing the appropriate treatment, either pharmacological or others.
