Abstract

This study was aimed to evaluate in clinical trial settings the psychometric properties of the revised Patient Perception of Migraine Questionnaire (PPMQ-R), a satisfaction measure for acute migraine treatment. The PPMQ-R was administered 24 h post dosing in 1304 migraineurs randomized to two identical Phase 3, single-attack trials. Reliability, concurrent and construct validity and known-groups validity were evaluated using Cronbach's alpha, Pearson correlations and analysis of variance, respectively. PPMQ-R scale and Total scores (Efficacy, Functionality and Ease of use) showed very good internal consistency reliability (alpha 0.84-0.99). Efficacy, Functionality and Total PPMQ-R scores showed large, inverse relationships with migraine pain severity, number of migraine symptoms and work ability (r = -0.62 to -0.75; all P < 0.0001). All scales discriminated among migraine pain severity levels (all P < 0.001). The PPMQ-R has sufficient evidence of validity and reliability for measuring patient satisfaction, an important benchmark of quality and effective care.
