Psychosoziale Beeinträchtigung durch chronische Kopfschmerzen
Abstract
Chronic primary headache has a considerable impact on the quality of life. To date, this impact has been evaluated by measurements of the general pain specific impairment of the quality of life. Headache specific measurements of quality of life or of disability caused by the headache are still missing for the German language. In America, a headache specific questionnaire, the "Headache Disability Inventory" (HDI), has been evaluated which is used in the presented study to create a German version, the "Inventar zur Beeinträchtigung durch Kopfschmerzen" (IBK). 94 consecutive patients with a primary headache disorder (59 female, 35 male; mean age 40 +/- 12 years) were examined. Cronbach's alpha was a = 0.90, the test-retest-reliability after three months was r = 0.87. An analysis of subscales for emotional and functional disability showed similar values for the internal consistency and the test-retest-reliability of these subscales. The scores of the different headache types did not differ significantly. In post-hoc-analyses, however, cluster headache showed higher disability scores than migraine both in the total scale and in the subscales. The total score of the IBK was significantly correlated with the number of headache days per month (r = 0.41; p < 0.0003) but not with the duration of disease or other demographic parameters. The IBK is the first German headache specific measurement of certain aspects of the quality of life in chronic headache patients. It can be used in clinical settings to evaluate the current state of the patient or to monitor treatment and it can be used for scientific studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
