Migraine Physical Function Impact Diary (MPFID)

Understand the multifaceted impact migraine has on patients

Migraines are more than headaches; they can cause debilitating pain, limiting physical functioning. The Migraine Physical Function Impact Diary (MPFID) is a 13-item self-report questionnaire developed to measure the subjective impact of migraine on physical functioning (everyday activities and physical impairment) in the past 24 hours. It is intended for use in adults (age 18 or older) with episodic migraine (EM) or chronic migraine (CM), with or without aura. 

This measure was developed using methods consistent with the regulatory guidance on patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures to support label claims about the benefit of treatments (FDA Guidance, 2009).

The MPFID was designed to be completed daily to capture the day-to-day variability of the impact of migraine on migraine and non-migraine days. It was conceptually designed to capture both ”acts” and ”tasks” associated with the impact of migraine on functioning. The MPFID includes multiple domains to assess the impact of migraine on physical functioning:

The Impact Everyday Activities (EA) domain includes seven items and generates a domain score addressing impacts on everyday activities, such as household chores, activities outside the home and activities requiring concentration.

The Physical Impairment (PI) domain includes five items and generates a domain score addressing the impact on physical function, such as moving the head or body and getting out of bed.

The Overall Impact on Everyday Activities is a standalone question assessing the global impact of migraine on doing usual activities.
