Objective: To devise and test the reliability and validity of a brief headache diary in a series of Colombian patients with chronic daily headache. Methods: The study was designed in five stages: selection of domains (group of patients and experts); initial devising of the items (writing group); identification of non-understandable items (n=20); assessment of internal consistency (n=100); assessment of validity and assessment of sensitivity to change during seven consecutive days (n=25, 175 observations). Results: Five domains were selected: headache presence, severity and length of pain, analgesics intake, and missing workdays. The headache diary is internally consistent (≈75% of rotated variance), correlates with the medical interview (Spearman's rho and Kendall's tau over 0.8 for each domain) and it has an adequate and stable sensitivity and specificity (82 to 96%). Conclusions: This headache diary is a reliable and valid instrument and represents the most important features affecting Colombian patients with chronic daily headache.Key words: Colombia, diagnosis, headache disorders, medical records, reproducibility of results, validation studies. resumenObjetivo: Diseñar y testar la validez y reproducibilidad de un diario de cefalea en una serie de pacientes Colombianos con cefalea crónica diaria. Métodos: El estudio fue diseñado en cinco fases: selección de los dominios (grupo de pacientes y expertos); diseño inicial de los ítems (grupo redactor); identificación de ítems no comprensibles (n=20); determinación de la consistencia interna (n=100); determinación de la validez y la sensibilidad al cambio durante siete días consecutivos (n=25, 175 observaciones). Resultados: Fueron seleccionados cinco dominios: presencia, severidad y duración del dolor, ingesta de analgésicos y días laborales perdidos. El diario tiene una adecuada consistencia interna (≈75% de la varianza), se correlaciona con la entrevista médica (rho de Spearman y tau de Kendall >0.8 para cada dominio) y tiene sensibilidad y especificidad estables y satisfactorias (82 a 96%). Conclusiones: Este diario de cefalea es un instrumento confiable y registra las principales características de las cefaleas en pacientes con cefalea crónica diaria.Palabras-Clave: Colombia, diagnóstico, cefalea, registros médicos, reproducibilidad de resultados, estudios de validación.controls 5,6 . Several factors might affect the internal validity of studies in CDH patients, among them the lack of reliable measurement instruments.Lipton et al. defined CDH as headaches that occur for ≥4 hours a day on ≥15 days a month over three months 7 .

The factorial structure of the version 2.0 of the MSQ was then evaluated by using confirmatory factor analysis [13,14], and the results determined a 14-item version of the statistically improved MSQ [13]. This revised version is known as MSQ version 2.1 (MSQv2.1), and is composed of 14 items in 3 dimensions covering functional status specific to migraine role restrictive (RR), role preventive (RP), and emotional function (EF) [13].…”

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.

Validity and Reliability of the Migraine‐Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQ Version 2.1)

Abstract: 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.
