Patient reported concepts were grouped into the following areas: physical function, everyday activities, social/relationship/leisure activities, and emotional responses.
Physical exercises in particular are non-hazardous in terms of side-effects and can have positive effects on life quality, management of everyday life and physical functioning [ 15- 19].
Physical functioning was measured using six basic physical function parameters associated with functional tasks and activities that are significant in the everyday living of older adults [ 20].
Secondary endpoints were ≥50% reduction in MMDs; change in acute migraine-specific medication days; change in Physical Impairment (PI) and Impact on Everyday Activities (EA) (as measured by the Migraine Physical Function Impact Diary [MPFID]).
Functional index WOMAC, which describes physical function of the impaired joint based on 17 details with consideration of difficulties in everyday life of the patient, had similar values in both groups in the beginning of treatment.
Monthly Migraine Physical Function Impact Diary (MPFID) domain scores (Impact on Everyday Activities [EA, 7 items] and Physical Impairment [PI, 5 items]) range from 0 100 (higher score=greater impact).
Items on the PCS assess how health is perceived to limit everyday physical activities, how physical health is perceived to limit social functioning and productivity in work and other roles, and the extent to which pain is experienced.
Improved physical function due to exercise and the experience of relevance to everyday function can cause a sense of mastery and increase self-efficacy [ 49].
Tests on the physical function of the hand and upper leg muscles were chosen to reflect everyday activities.
For Physical Function, the global health item asks, "To what extent are you able to carry out your everyday physical activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or moving a chair," and is scored on a 5-point scale, ranging from "completely" to "not at all".
