The Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire is a brief, self-administered questionnaire which is designed to quantify headache-related disability in a 3-month period. We have tested a Turkish version of the MIDAS questionnaire in 60 migraine patients. Sixty of the clinically diagnosed migraine headache sufferers were enrolled in a 90-day diary study and completed the MIDAS questionnaire in the first, 21st and the last day of the 90-day study. The scores taken from the diary and the scores of the MIDAS taken at different times were evaluated by the correlation tests of both Pearson and Spearman for each question and total scores. Cronbach's scores taken from the diary and taken from the test of the MIDAS which was applied at different times were evaluated. Pearson's correlation on the responses in the initial MIDAS questions was between 0.44 (reduced productivity in household chores) and 0.78 (missed work or school days). The correlation of the Spearman was similar to the Pearson values. As a result, we found that the overall score of the MIDAS has a good reliability and its internal consistency is also good (Cronbach's α 0.87). These findings support the use of the MIDAS questionnaire as a clinical and research tool on Turkish patients.

Background. The study was designed to determine the validity and reliability of the Bahasa Melayu version (MIDAS-M) of the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire.Methods. Patients having migraine for more than six months attending the Neurology Clinic, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Malaysia, were recruited. Standard forward and back translation procedures were used to translate and adapt the MIDAS questionnaire to produce the Bahasa Melayu version. The translated Malay version was tested for face and content validity. Validity and reliability testing were further conducted with 100 migraine patients (1st administration) followed by a retesting session 21 days later (2nd administration).Results. A total of 100 patients between 15 and 60 years of age were recruited. The majority of the patients were single (66%) and students (46%). Cronbach’s alpha values were 0.84 (1st administration) and 0.80 (2nd administration). The test-retest reliability for the total MIDAS score was 0.73, indicating that the MIDAS-M questionnaire is stable; for the five disability questions, the test-retest values ranged from 0.77 to 0.87.Conclusion. The MIDAS-M questionnaire is comparable with the original English version in terms of validity and reliability and may be used for the assessment of migraine in clinical settings.

Abstract Background Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS) is a useful tool to measure headache-related disability. Modified MIDAS with 4-week recall period reduces recall bias and improves accuracy of the results. This study aimed at validating mMIDAS in Portuguese. Methods Studied population consisted of adult migraine patients attending a headache outpatient clinic. Reliability was assessed by internal consistency and reproducibility in a 3-week test-retest. Content validity was evaluated by two expert panels. Construct validity was tested by comparing mMIDAS-P index in socioeconomic and clinical patient groups and scale unidimensionality was evidenced by factor analysis. Criterion validity was tested using EQ-5D-5L and HADS. Results 92 patients, 88% female, mean age of 44 years, participated. They had, in average, 9.7 headache days in previous month, pain averaging 7.5/10. About 69.9% were on a migraine prophylactic treatment, and 42.4% had severe disability; 29.4% and 13.0% showed, respectively, moderate/severe anxiety and depression. Content validity showed that mMIDAS-P is simple and clinically useful. It did not show to be determined by patient’s sociodemographic characteristics and it was correlated with depression scale and EQ-5D-5L. Test-retest demonstrated high reproductive reliability and good internal consistency. Conclusion mMIDAS-P is valid and reliable. We strongly recommend it for clinical and research use.

The study was to prove the validity and reliability of the WHODAS 2.0 Indonesian version questionnaire in patients with back pain. This study was an observational cross-sectional study conducted in 2018. The study included the filling of WHODAS 2.0 Indonesian version, Indonesian version of Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire, Wong-Baker Scale, conducted at Department of Rehabilitative Medicine, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, against 82 respondents with back pain. Each respondent was given informed consent. The validity of the WHODAS 2.0 Indonesian version questionnaire was measured using Pearson's test on the correlation of WHODAS 2.0 Indonesian version questionnaire and Oswestry Disability Index questionnaire with r >0.3 (0.862). WHODAS 2.0 Indonesian version questionnaire and Wong-Baker Scale had r >0.3 (0.449–0.785). The reliability of the WHODAS 2.0 Indonesian version questionnaire was measured using Pearson's correlation test with r >0.3 (0.764–0.866). WHODAS 2.0 Indonesian version's internal reliability was tested using Cronbach-Alfa Test with alpha >0.6 (0.634–, 853). In conclusion, the WHODAS 2.0 - Indonesian version is a valid and reliable questionnaire for patients with back pain.
