Abstract

Objective.–To assess the scaling properties, reliability, and validity of the revised Migraine‐Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQ) (Version 2.1) Background.–The MSQ is a disease‐specific, quality‐of‐life instrument with three hypothesized scales that has been developed, tested, and revised. Methods.–The study used a multicenter, nondrug, prospective, parallel group, quasi‐experimental design. Patients with migraine were recruited at outpatient headache specialty practices and were administered the MSQ, the Medical Outcomes Study 36‐Item Short Form Health Survey (SF‐36), and migraine symptom questionnaires at baseline, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks. Internal consistency (Cronbach α) and 4‐week test‐retest reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficients) were estimated to assess reliability. Construct validity was assessed using an adaptation of the Campbell and Fiske multitrait‐multimethod approach and by correlating MSQ scores with symptom measures. Results.–A total of 267 subjects enrolled in the trial. The criteria for summated rating scales were all met. The internal consistency coefficients ranged from 0.86 to 0.96, and the intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.57 to 0.63 across the three dimensions. As anticipated, the MSQ dimensions had low‐to‐modest correlations with the two component scores of the SF‐36 and were modestly to moderately correlated with migraine symptoms. Conclusions.–The MSQ is a reliable instrument in the assessment of quality of life for patients with migraine with items that can be summed without weights. The MSQ has demonstrated evidence of construct validity.

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.
