Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Headache Screening Questionnaire
Overview
This multi-center, nationwide study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Headache Screening Questionnaire (HSQ-TR). The 10-item questionnaire is designed to screen for migraine and tension-type headache in individuals with headache complaints. Participants presenting with headache will be enrolled. Each participant will first complete the HSQ-TR and then be examined by a neurologist who will provide a diagnosis according to the ICHD-3 beta criteria. The questionnaire results will be compared with the neurologist's diagnoses to assess criterion validity, including sensitivity, specificity, and agreement.

A score of 6 or higher suggests "probable migraine" or "probable TTH."
