Development and Validation of the Migraine‐Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire
Abstract
This paper describes the development and validation of a migraine‐specific quality‐of‐life instrument that is capable of measuring health‐related quality‐of‐life impairments attributed to migraine. Item selection, item reduction, and pretesting and finalization of items during the instrument development phase resulted in a total of 16 questions which were incorporated into the Migraine‐Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (Version 1:0) (©1992 Glaxo Wellcome Inc). Three meaningful dimensions were hypothesized: Role Function‐Restrictive, Role Function‐Preventive, and Emotional Function. In the instrument validation phase, the Migraine‐Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire was mailed to 1109 migraine patients, providing a response rate of 45% (n=458). Initial psychometric evaluation of the questionnaire indicated that it possessed adequate reliability with Cronbach's alpha for the three dimensions ranging between 0.70 to 0.85. The Migraine‐Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire possessed adequate content and criterion validity. All but three items satisfied the test of construct validity. In conclusion, the Migraine‐Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire has acceptable psychometric properties and can be used to estimate the effect of migraine and its treatment on the patient's health‐related quality of life.

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.
