Validating a Modified COMPASS 31questionnaire for Treatment Outcomes (COMPASS)

July 19, 2022 updated by: Matt Hammerle, Brooke Army Medical Center

Validating the Modified COMPASS 31 Questionnaire for Evaluation and Outcomes of Post-concussive Symptoms in Active Duty Military Patients

Eligible participants will complete the COMPASS 31 (year), modified COMPASS 31(one month) and the NSI (one month) questionnaires at baseline and complete the modified COMPASS 31 and the NSI after usual care of treatment.

The investigators will

  1. Compare results for the COMPASS 31(year) to the modified COMPASS 31(month) at baseline.
  2. Compare modified COMPASS 31(month) to the NSI at baseline and post intervention.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The Composite Autonomic Symptom Score (COMPASS 31) is a validated questionnaire designed to measure self reported autonomic symptoms in the last year in individuals with migraine and post-concussive symptoms. In order to use this questionnaire to measure response to treatment it would be preferable to determine if the results of the COMPASS 31 are similar if the patient is asked to complete this thinking about symptoms in the last year as per the usual questionnaire, compared to a modified COMPASS 31 where symptoms in the past month will be assessed.

This prospective trial will compare results of the COMPASS 31 (year) to the modified COMPASS 31 (month). Since the present gold standard for outcome measures in post-concussive treatment is the neurobehavioral symptom inventory (NSI), this study will also compare results of the modified COMPASS 31(month) to the NSI outcome measure at baseline and post treatment to validate the utilization of the modified version of the COMPASS 31(month) for use in the post-concussive population as an outcome measure for self-reported autonomic nervous system symptoms.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Composite Autonomic Symptom Score questionnaire (Compass 31)-Self reported autonomic nervous system symptoms in the past year.
Time Frame: One year
Self reported autonomic nervous system symptoms in the past year will be measured using the validated, refined and abbreviated Composite Autonomic Symptom Score questionnaire (Compass 31). Scoring ranges from 0-100 with higher scores indicating more autonomic symptoms.
One year
Composite Autonomic Symptom Score questionnaire (Compass 31)- Self reported autonomic nervous system symptoms in the past month (COMPASS 31-month).
Time Frame: One month
Self reported autonomic nervous system symptoms in the past month will be measured using the validated, refined and abbreviated Composite Autonomic Symptom Score questionnaire (Compass 31-month). Scoring ranges from 0-100 with higher scores indicating more autonomic symptoms.
One month
Neurobehavioural symptom inventory (NSI) a 22-item self-report questionnaire of neurobehavioral symptoms.
Time Frame: One month
Neurobehavioural symptom inventory (NSI) a 22-item self-report questionnaire of neurobehavioral symptoms. Scores range from 0-88 with higher scores indicating more symptoms.
