Abstract

A migraine is a type of headache characterized by intense throbbing or pulsing pain, typically affecting one side of the head. It is commonly accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and heightened sensitivity to light and sound. The assessment tools reviewed include the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS), Headache Impact Test (HIT-6), International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) Criteria, Impact of Migraine on Partners, Adolescent and Children (IMPAC), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Each tool was examined for its reliability, validity, and the specific QoL parameters it addresses, such as 
functional impairment, pain intensity, psychosocial effects, and emotional well-being. The analysis underscores the importance of a multidimensional approach in assessing migraines, emphasizing that a combination of these tools can provide a holistic understanding of the condition's impact on patients' lives.
