The Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) Questionnaire: Translation and Reliability of the Italian Version
Abstract
We have developed and tested an Italian version of the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire, an established instrument for assessing headache-related disability. A multistep process was used to translate and adapt the questionnaire into Italian, which was then tested on 109 Italian migraine without aura patients, 86 (78.9%) of whom completed the form a second time 21 days later. Overall MIDAS score had good test–retest reliability (Spearman's correlation 0.77), closely similar to that found in English-speaking migraineurs, and individual responses were also satisfactorily reliable. Internal consistency was good (Cronbach's alpha 0.7). These findings support the use of the MIDAS questionnaire as a clinical and research tool with Italian patients.

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.
