Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess psychometric properties of the six-item Headache Impact Text (HIT-6™) across episodic and chronic migraine. Methods: Using a migraine screener and number of headache days per month (HDPM), participants from the National Survey of Headache Impact (NSHI) study and the HIT-6 validation study (HIT6-V) were selected for this study. Eligible participants were categorized into three groups: chronic migraine (CM: ≥ 15 HDPM); episodic migraine (EM: < 15 HDPM); non-migraine headaches. Reliability and validity of the HIT-6 were evaluated. Results: A total of 2,049 survey participants met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for this study. Participants were identified as 6.4% CM; 42.1% EM; 51.5% non-migraine, with respective mean HIT-6 scores: 62.5 ± 7.8; 60.2 ± 6.8; and 49.1 ± 8.7. High reliability was demonstrated with internal consistency (time1/time2) of 0.83/0.87 in NSHI, and 0.82/0.92 in HIT6-V. Intra-class correlation for test-retest reliability was very good at 0.77. HIT-6 scores correlated significantly ( p < .0001) with total Migraine Disability Assessment Scale scores ( r = 0.56), headache pain severity ( r = 0.46), and HDPM ( r = 0.29). Discriminant validity analysis showed significantly different HIT-6 scores ( F = 488.02, p < .0001) across the groups. Conclusion: Results from these analyses confirm that the HIT-6 is a reliable and valid tool for discriminating headache impact across episodic and chronic migraine.

AbstractBackgroundIndividuals with superior semi-circular canal syndrome often describe vestibular symptoms elicited by loud sounds, as well as other pressure-induced symptoms. They also often report other symptoms, including autophony, hyperacusis, cognitive dysfunction, spatial disorientation, anxiety and migraine headaches. Symptoms occur due to the presence of a ‘third window’ created by the dehiscence of the superior semi-circular canal. This case report describes a minimally invasive technique to provide soft reinforcement of the round window.Case reportOur patient underwent a permeatal procedure whereby the tympanic membrane was raised to allow inspection of the middle ear. The round window niche was identified and the round window membrane was reinforced with fat. The mucosa of the bony meatus leading to the round window was then disrupted before the application of a double layer of perichondrium to allow further reinforcement.ConclusionThe case provides support for the use of ‘soft reinforcement’ as a simple and effective technique to treat the symptoms of superior canal dehiscence syndrome.
