The Migraine Specific Quality of Life (MSQOL) is a patient-reported outcome measure (PRO or PROM) which assesses the quality of life of migraineurs[1]. It is a questionnaire which is filled out by the patient and is used to determine how the patient’s life has been affected by their migraines.
The MSQoL was funded by the Wellcome Foundation and developed by Galen Research, as part of an international research study which was conducted in eight countries, with initial work conducted in the UK and USA. In the UK, 30 patients who suffer from migraine were interviewed, while 25 patients were interviewed in the USA. A focus group was also held with 5 participants. Transcripts of these interviews were then used to determine the questionnaire items. The MSQoL was assessed for reliability and validity and was found to have good consistency and test-retest reliability[2] . Scores on the MSQoL were also found to be consistent with another measure of well-being as well as the perceived severity of the affliction for the patients.
The MSQoL has been translated into seven languages other than UK English: German, Danish, Spanish, Finnish, French, Italian and USA English[3] .
