| DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT | |
| Type Of Measure | Questionnaire |
| Brief Description |
The MDF-fibro-17 is a comprehensive, multidimensional, PRO measure to assess FM-related fatigue in FM clinical trials; it consists of a 17-item multidimensional measure, capturing five domains: Global Fatigue Experience (four items); Cognitive Fatigue (four items); Physical Fatigue (three items); Motivation (three items); and Impact on Function (three items). |
| Number of Items | 17 |
| Range | 0-10 |
| Responses options/scale |
No |
| Developed for | Clinical practice, Research |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | Self-administered |
| Recommendations to score |
Each item is presented as a 0–10 NRS anchored by “not at all” at 0 and “extremely” at 10; a total score is calculated as the average of the domain scores (also ranging from 0 to 10) |
| Score Interpretation | Higher scores indicated greater fatigue severity. |
| Cut-off points | --- |
| Cut-off points applied to | --- |
| Smallest detectable change if described | --- |
| Smallest detectable change applied to | --- |
| Completion time by the patient | - minutes |
| Scoring time by the assessor | - minutes |
| Training to score | Not necessary |
| Strengths | Easy to use, Useful in clinical practice & research |
| Limitations | Not widely used |
