What is 24-Hour Migraine-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire

The 24-Hour Migraine-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (24-Hour MQoLQ) measures headache impact. It helps doctors track treatment outcomes. This tool focuses on 15 items covering five key domains. It looks at work, social activities, and energy levels to give a clear picture of patient health status. Patients answer questions about feelings, concerns, and symptoms. They rate their ability to function on a scale, usually from 1 to 7. This helps pinpoint exactly where the migraine is causing the most trouble, whether it is tiredness or mood changes. It is easy to use in clinics or research settings. The form takes only a few minutes to fill out, making it great for busy practices. Doctors can use the scores to adjust meds or try new therapies. It is a practical way to ensure patients get back to their normal routine faster and feel much better.

24-MSQ Scoring

The 24-Hour Migraine-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire is scored using one main approach covering five domains. Patients rate 15 items on a seven point scale across areas like Work Functioning, Social Functioning, and Energy. You calculate raw sums for each domain and the total score, then transform them to a 0 to 100 scale using a standard formula. Higher totals mean better health outcomes and quality of life during that specific period. This helps clinicians and researchers track exactly how well a treatment worked over a full day.
