Definition

A disease-specific self-report questionnaire that investigates six primary aspects of quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis: mobility, symptoms, emotional well-being, general contentment, thinking/fatigue, and family/social well-being. Five of the six subcategories (mobility, symptoms, emotional well-being, general contentment, and family/social well-being) comprise seven items (score range: 0–28); the subcategory thinking/fatigue comprises nine items (score range: 0–36).
