“…AF and migraine independently cause considerable impairment in QoL. [35][36][37] Therefore, it is plausible that when both conditions concurrently exist, the intrusiveness of 2 diseases and their treatments would affect the health-related QoL worse than when AF is present alone. Successful ablation is known to improve QoL in AF patients, irrespective of AF type.…”

Background— We examined the influence of catheter ablation and periprocedural anticoagulation regimen on trajectory of migraine in atrial fibrillation patients with or without migraine history. Methods and Results— Forty patients with (group 1: 64±8 years; men 78%) and 85 (group 2: 61±10 years; men 73%) without migraine history undergoing atrial fibrillation-ablation were enrolled. Migraine status and quality of life were evaluated using standardized questionnaires. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging of brain was performed for all at pre and 24 hours post procedure. Catheter ablation was performed with (88, 70%) or without (37, 30%) continuous warfarin treatment. Fifty-four patients (11 and 43 from groups 1 and 2, respectively) had subtherapeutic international normalized ratio on procedure day. At 17±5 months follow-up, from group 1, 25 (63%) reported no migraine, 10 (25%) had <1, and 3 (8%) had 2 to 3 monthly symptoms. Intensity of pain decreased from baseline 7 (Q1–Q3, 4–8) to 2 (0–4) scale points at follow-up ( P <0.001) and duration of headache from median 8 (Q1–Q3, 4–15) to 0.5 (Q1–Q3, 0–2) hours ( P <0.001). Two patients from group 1 reported increased migraine severity and 2 from group 2 had new-onset migraine. Follow-up diffusion magnetic resonance imaging revealed new infarcts in 9.6% (12/125) patients; of which 11 had subtherapeutic preprocedural international normalized ratio on or off continuous warfarin. Quality of life improved significantly in patients with successful ablation, being more pronounced in group 1. Conclusions— In most patients, migraine symptoms improved substantially after catheter ablation. Interestingly, the only cases of new migraine and aggravation of pre-existent headache had subtherapeutic international normalized ratio during the procedure and new cerebral infarcts.

“…Based on the 23 items, three dimensions (physical, mental and social) and a total score are calculated and transformed to a 0–100 scale (100 representing the best possible QOL) as is the usual practice in reporting QOL. The original Hungarian CHQQ scale showed adequate reliability, criterion and convergent validity in migraineurs and tension type headache patients (Manhalter et al 2012), with migraineurs having significantly lower scores (worse QOL) in 16 of the 23 items, all dimensions and total score, as expected. The preliminary results of CHQQ’s validation in 60 patients suffering from cluster headache were also encouraging, with excellent reliability and adequate criterion and convergent validity (Ertsey et al 2015a).…”

“…This limitation was recently overcome by development and validation of the Comprehensive Headache-related Quality of life Questionnaire (CHQQ) which is intended for use in all headache types (Manhalter et al 2012). The CHQQ contains 23 items probing various aspects of daily life that had been found important by a panel of headache experts and patients (Manhalter et al 2012). Based on the 23 items, three dimensions (physical, mental and social) and a total score are calculated and transformed to a 0–100 scale (100 representing the best possible QOL) as is the usual practice in reporting QOL.…”

BackgroundThe Comprehensive Headache-related Quality of life Questionnaire (CHQQ), is a recently developed and validated instrument, intended for measuring quality of life of patients with all headache types. Currently no validated headache-specific quality of life questionnaires are available in Serbian. The aim of this study was to translate the CHQQ from Hungarian to Serbian, to make necessary cultural adaptations and to test its psychometric properties in a sample of outpatients with headache.MethodsThe CHQQ was translated and adapted according to internationally accepted guidelines, and then tested on a sample of 216 Serbian headache patients (171 females and 45 males, mean age 42.3 years/SD 13.35; range 18–75). The majority of patients suffered from episodic tension-type headache (TTH); 27 (12.5 %) had episodic migraine. We calculated the internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha), criterion validity (correlations of individual items, dimensions and whole questionnaire with the clinical characteristics of headache), convergent validity (correlations of the abovementioned scores with results of other instruments measuring headache severity and impact), and discriminative validity (comparison of the scores in the two diagnostic groups) of the CHQQ. We used factor analysis to explore the underlying construct.ResultsThe Serbian translation of CHQQ showed excellent internal consistency, both for the whole instrument (Cronbach’s alpha 0.937) and its dimensions. The validity of the instrument in all aspects (criterion, convergent and discriminative validity) was also excellent when the whole sample and the subgroup of patients with TTH were analyzed, while the results for patients with migraine were less favorable. Factor analysis suggested the existence of a single dimension in this sample.ConclusionsThe Serbian translation of CHQQ is as reliable and valid specific instrument for measuring headache-related quality of life in patients with TTH and probably in patients with migraine.

“…The first group is applied to adults and includes (1) the QoL questionnaire created ad hoc by Cavallini et al without any validity and reliability test [5], (2) the Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQOL) for long-term impact of migraine without a specific period [6], (3) the MSQ developed by Jhingran et al from GlaxoWellcome for long-term impact of migraine for a specific period of 4 weeks [7], (4) the 6-item Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) for nonspecific type of headache including migraine at the initial development [8], and (5) the Comprehensive Headache-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire for migraine and tension-type headache only tested for validity [9]. The second group is applied to adolescents only, and uses the (6) Quality of Life Headache in Youth (QLH-Y) scale for chronic headache, including migraine with a 1 week impact [10].…”

Validity, reliability, and sensitivity to change of the Thai version of the Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire version 2.1

Background: The Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire version 2.1 (MSQv2.1) is used to evaluate the impact of symptoms on the quality of life (QoL) of migraineurs. Objective: To evaluate primarily the concurrent validity, test-retest reliability, and internal consistency, and secondarily the sensitivity to change of a Thai version of the MSQv2.1. Methods:The original English version of the MSQv2.1 was translated into a Thai version. The Thai version of the MSQv2.1 was assessed for content and language equivalence. Validity of the Thai version of the MSQv2.1 was assessed using migraine characteristics in a prospective study conducted at the Chulalongkorn Comprehensive Headache Centre of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency were tested in migraineurs. Sensitivity to change was evaluated in another group of migraineurs using an 8-week follow-up. Results: We recruited 30 migraineurs to test the validity, test-retest reliability, and internal consistency of the Thai version of the MSQv2.1 and 11 migraineurs to test its sensitivity to change. The Thai version of the MSQv2.1 scores were significantly correlated with migraine symptoms (inverse coefficient range from -0.62 to -0.39) except for associated symptoms, which had no correlation with any of the dimensions or overall QoL score. Spearman's correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability was 0.56-0.83, and Cronbach's α for internal consistency was 0.91-0.96. Headache, including average pain duration per attack, pain severity score (numeric rating scale), associated symptoms and dimensions, and overall QoL score of the Thai version of MSQv2.1 improved over time (P < 0.05). Moreover, improvement in headache correlated (coefficient range 0.67-0.77) with improvement in overall QoL score and some dimensions of the Thai version of the MSQv2.1 (coefficient range 0.66-0.77). Conclusion:The Thai version of the MSQv2.1 had validity, acceptable internal consistency, moderate-to-strong test-retest reliability, and strong correlation between improvement in headache severity and overall QoL score. A future study with a larger sample size and longer follow-up is required for better estimates of internal consistency and sensitivity to change.
