Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • The Headache Disability Inventory (HDI) previously demonstrated good reliability and validity.
  • Further evaluation was needed for short-term test-retest reliability and spousal agreement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the short-term (1-week) test-retest reliability of the HDI.
  • To examine the congruence between patient self-perceptions and spouse perceptions of headache disability.

Main Methods:

  • The 25-item Headache Disability Inventory was administered twice within a 1-week interval.
  • Spouse perceptions of patient headache disability were collected concurrently.

Main Results:

  • The Headache Disability Inventory demonstrated excellent short-term test-retest reliability.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Patient and spouse perceptions of headache disability were generally congruent.
  • Marked discrepancies between patient and spouse perceptions were noted in some cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Headache Disability Inventory is a reliable tool for assessing headache disability over short intervals.
    • While generally aligned, spousal perspectives can offer unique insights into a patient's perceived headache disability.
