Abstract
BACKGROUND: Headache disorders are both common and burdensome but, given the many people affected, provision of health care to all is challenging. Structured headache services based in primary care are the most efficient, equitable and cost-effective solution but place responsibility for managing most patients on health-care providers with limited training in headache care. The development of practical management aids for primary care is therefore a purpose of the Global Campaign against Headache. This manuscript presents an outcome measure, the Headache Under-Response to Treatment (HURT) questionnaire, describing its purpose, development, psychometric evaluation and assessment for clinical utility. The objective was a simple-to-use instrument that would both assess outcome and provide guidance to improving outcome, having utility across the range of headache disorders, across clinical settings and across countries and cultures.Entities:

Instruments used as external validators
| Instrument | Structure/purpose | Scoring |
|---|---|---|
| Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) scale [ | 5 items counting days of lost productivity (complete or by > 50%) from paid or household work and missed family, social or leisure activities during the preceding 3 months | Sum of responses (the MIDAS score) quantifies impact in days lost per 3 months |
| Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) [ | 6 items assessing lost time at work, school or social activities, pain severity, fatigue, frustration and difficulty in concentration, each with 5 frequency response options (never, rarely, sometimes, very often, always) | Response options scored 6, 8, 10, 11 and 13 respectively, with higher summed scores (range 36–78) indicating greater impact |
| Migraine Specific Quality of Life (MSQ) questionnaire, version 2.1 [ | 14 items assessing QoL in the preceding 4 weeks in 3 migraine-specific dimensions (role function-restrictive; role function-preventive; emotional function), each item having 6 Likert-type response options. | On a scale 0–100 (higher being better QoL) through transformation involving 3 steps |
| PRIME-MD Patient Health Questionnaire – depression module (PHQ-9) [ | Depressive symptoms over the preceding 2 weeks assessed in the 9 domains of DSM-IV, each with 4 frequency response options (not at all, on several days, on more than half of days, nearly every day) | Response options scored 0–3, with higher summed scores (range 0–27) indicating more severe depression |
| Migraine Prevention Questionnaire (MPQ) [ | 5 items (regarding headache frequency, acute medication use and headache-related impairment, worry and anxiety) identify need for, and guide, preventative pharmacological treatment of migraine based on consensus guidelines | Responses summed into a total score, which falls into one of 3 categories: preventative treatment not indicated, should be considered or should be offered |
