Migraine Disability Assessment Score

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Migraine Disability Assessment Questionnaire and the resulting Migraine Disability Assessment Score (MIDAS) were developed to make ability disorders and impairments caused by migraines measurable and thereby improve doctor - patient communication, among other things .

It is a standardized questionnaire that patients can fill out independently. It adds up the number of days on which the patients were completely or at least half impaired in their performance due to migraine over a period of three months.

The questionnaire differentiates between work and home. These two places are of utmost importance to the 20-50 age group, where migraines are most prevalent . During the evaluation, the sum of the days "lost" due to migraines results in the MIDA score, which is divided into grade I (minor or occasional disability) to grade IV (severe disability). The graduation makes the need for treatment and the required procedure clear.
