Migraine-related disability and quality of life in hormonal migraineurs.
| Questionnaire | Mean score ± SEM |
|---|---|
| HIT-6™ (n = 48) | 64.9 ± 1.0 |
| MIDAS (n = 49) | 22.7 ± 3.5 |
| MIDAS item A (headache frequency) | 10.3 ± 1.2 |
| MIDAS item B (headache severity) | 7.3 ± 0.3 |
| Migraine headache days (monthly) | 3.4 ± 0.4 |
| MSQoL (n = 49)a | |
| Role function restrictive | 36.0 ± 3.6 |
| Role function preventive | 52.6 ± 3.9 |
| Emotional function | 37.6 ± 4.2 |
The HIT-6™ is scored between 36 and 78; the higher the score, the higher the impact of migraine on an individual's ability to function at work, home and during social situations. The MIDAS is scored between 0 and 270; the higher the MIDAS score, the higher the migraine-related disability. MIDAS item A assesses headache frequency during the last three previous months at the time of the clinic visit. MIDAS item B assesses the average intensity of headache pain during the last three previous months at the time of the clinic visit using an 11-point (0–10) numeric pain rating scale. The higher the MSQoL, the better the self-perceived quality of life. Data missing for HIT-6 (n = 2), MIDAS (n = 1) and MSQoL (n = 1). MIDAS, Migraine Disability Assessment; HIT-6™, Headache Impact Test-6; MSQoL, Migraine-Specific Quality of Life.
