work functioning subscore =
= SUM(points for questions 7, 8, 9)
social functioning subscore =
= SUM(points for questions 10, 11, 12)
energy/vitality subscore =
= SUM(points for questions 13, 14, 15)
migraine symptom subscore =
= SUM(points for questions 1, 2, 3)
feelings/concerns subscore =
= SUM(points for questions 4, 5, 6)
total score =
= SUM(points for all 15 questions)

• minimum total score: 15
• maximum total score: 105
• The higher the score, the better the patient is able to function.
percent of optimum functioning for a subscore =
= ((subscore) – 3) / 18
percent of optimum functioning for the total score =
= ((subscore) – 15) /90
