HIT-6 and MIDAS as Measures of Headache Disability in a Headache Referral Population
Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 10/12/09

Sauro KM et al. – The headache impact test (HIT–6) and the migraine disability assessment scale (MIDAS) appear to measure headache–related disability in a similar fashion. However, some important differences may exist. Headache intensity appears to influence HIT–6 score more than the MIDAS, whereas the MIDAS was influenced more by headache frequency. Using the HIT–6 and MIDAS together may give a more accurate assessment of a patient's headache–related disability.
