Migraine Disability Test (MIDAS)
The MIDAS is a questionnaire designed to quantify headache-related disability over a 3 month period.
Total Score is obtained with the sum of days lost in social, domestic and work activities
The total score corresponding to four categories:
0 to 5 = Grade I - Llittle or no disability 6 to 10 = Grade II - Mild disability 11 to 20 = Grade III - Moderate disability 21 or + = Grade IV - Severe disability

Migraine Disability Test (MIDAS)

Headache Impact Test, version 6 (HIT-6)
HIT-6 measures the disability caused by headaches in the previous month. This questionnaire consists of six questions whose answer alternatives are given in frequency. The result is the sum of the points for each answer.
The four headache impact severity categories are little or no impact (49 or less), some impact (50–55), substantial impact (56–59), and severe impact (60–78).

Headache Impact Test, version 6 (HIT-6)

Beck Depression Inventory
The BDI measures the severity of depressive episodes. It is a self-report questionnaire with 21 groups of statements that express levels of severity of depressive symptoms ranging from 0 to 3 points.
The standard cut-off scores are as follows:
0–9: indicates minimal depression 10–18: indicates mild depression 19–29: indicates moderate depression 30–+: indicates severe depression.

The 4-point verbal scale consists of pain classification in scores between zero and three that correspond to: 0 - Absence of pain, 1 - Mild Pain, 2 - Moderate Pain and 3 - Severe pain

Pain intensity (Four-point Scale)

Pain intensity (Faces Pain Scale)

The numerical visual scale has a score ranging from zero to 10 and is associated with the description of pain intensity and functional capacity, where zero corresponds to absence of pain and ten to maximum, disabling pain.

Pain intensity (Visual Numeric Scale)

The severity of headache was assessed with four-point scale. Scale ranges: 0 - Absence of pain, 1 - Mild Pain, 2 - Moderate Pain and 3 - Severe pain Higher scores mean a worse outcome

Change in Headache Severity.

The severity of headache was assessed with visual numeric scale. Scale ranges: from zero (absence of pain) to 10 (maximum intensity of pain). Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

The severity of headache was assessed with faces pain scale. It is a self-reported pain scale consisting of face drawings which have a score ranging from zero (absence of pain) to five (maximal intensity of pain).
Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

Evaluated biomarkers: neurotrophic factors and inflammatory mediators.
