Research Summary
A recent study published in Neurology International has successfully validated the Arabic version of the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire specifically for migraine sufferers. Conducted in Saudi Arabia, this research involved 82 adult migraine patients, 77% of whom were female, with an average age of 38. The study found that the Arabic WPAI:Migraine questionnaire exhibits strong test-retest reliability (ICC: 0.68-0.84) and significant correlations with the Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS), particularly in activity impairment, presenteeism, and absenteeism. These findings confirm that the questionnaire is a reliable tool for evaluating work productivity and activity impairment in Arabic-speaking migraine patients.
