title: [Quality of life of patients with primary headaches, strokes and myotonic dystrophy].
abstract: Results of the first comparative study using a Russian validated version of the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (MOS SF-36) are presented. Two hundreds and seventy-four patients with several neurological disorders - primary cephalgias (124 patients), strokes (120) and myotonic dystrophy (30) were examined. A remarkable decrease of quality of life (QOL) in all groups as well as between-group differences on QOL domains (physical, psychological, social and others) were observed. These data might serve as a basis of support programs for patients.
