| dc.description.abstract | Objective: This study is part of the ODIN-migraine (Optimization of Diagnostic Instruments in migraine) project. It is a secondary, a priori analysis of previously collected data, and aimed to assess the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Cogniphobia Scale for Headache Disorders (CS-HD). We aimed to construct a German-language version and a short version. Background: Cogniphobia is the fear and avoidance of cognitive exertion, which the patient believes triggers or exacerbates headache. High cogniphobia may worsen the course of a headache disorder. Methods: The 15-item CS-HD was translated into German and back translated in a masked form by a professional translator. Modifications were discussed and carried out in an expert panel. A cross-sectional online survey including the CS-HD and further self-report questionnaires was conducted in a sample of N = 387 persons with migraine (364/387 [94.1%] female, M = 41.0 [SD = 13.0] years, migraine without aura: 152/387 [39.3%], migraine with aura: 85/387 [22.0%], and chronic migraine: 150/387 [38.8%]). Results: Exploratory factor analysis resulted in two clearly interpretable factors (interictal and ictal cogniphobia). Confirmatory factor analysis yielded an acceptable to good model fit (χ2(89) = 117.87, p = 0.022, χ2/df = 1.32, RMSEA = 0.029, SRMR = 0.055, CFI = 0.996, TLI = 0.995). Item response theory-based analysis resulted in the selection of six items for the short form (CS-HD-6). Reliability was acceptable to excellent (interictal cogniphobia subscale: ω = 0.92 [CS-HD] or ω = 0.77 [CS-HD-6]; ictal cogniphobia subscale: ω = 0.77 [CS-HD] or ω = 0.73 [CS-HD-6]). The pattern of correlations with established questionnaires confirmed convergent validity of both the CS-HD and the CS-HD-6. Conclusion: Both the CS-HD and the CS-HD-6 have good psychometric properties and are suitable for the assessment of cogniphobia in migraine. | en |
