== I made an excel version -- [[User:Es10475|Es10475]] ([[User talk:Es10475|talk]]) 00:01, October 22, 2024 (UTC) ==

I made an excel sheet where users can input their answers, and the sheet will automatically score it. This was based on the version of the scale found in the citation below. I kept the format as close as I could because I did not know if it would impact validity.

Someone please add this to the Page.

CDC 2005 Symptom Inventory for CFS

The '''CDC 2005 Symptom Inventory for CFS''', also called the '''CDC CFS Symptom Inventory''' is a self-report questionnaire designed by the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|CDC]] about physical symptoms that a [[ME/CFS]] patient may have experienced during the past month.

The CDC stated that there were several self-report questionnaires which measured fatigue and illness impact, such as the [[SF-36 | Medical Outcomes Survey Short-Form-36]] (MOS [[SF-36]]), [[Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20]] (MFI),and the [[Chalder fatigue scale | Chalder Fatigue Scale]], but few evaluated the case defining symptoms which accompany [[Chronic fatigue syndrome|CFS]]. In testing the validity of the CDC CFS Symptom Inventory, one hundred sixty-four subjects were enrolled during the CDC [[Wichita Clinical Study]] from December 2002 to July 2003. Three groups were chosen to fill out the questionnaire: one with CFS (diagnosed using the [[Fukuda criteria]]), one with other fatiguing illnesses and one non-fatigued control group.<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.cdc.gov/cfs/programs/wichita-data-access/index.html | title = Witchia data access {{!}} Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) {{!}} Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) {{!}} CDC | last = | first = | date = 2018-07-03 | website = [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]]|language=en-us|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status= | access-date = 2018-10-15}}</ref>

In 2005, the results were published in [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1183246/ ''Psychometric properties of the CDC Symptom Inventory for assessment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome''] by Dieter Wagner, Rosane Nisenbaum, Christine Heim, James F Jones, [[Elizabeth Unger]], and [[William Reeves]]. They concluded that: "The Symptom Inventory appears to be a reliable and valid instrument to assess symptoms that accompany CFS."<ref name=":0" />

The inventory asks the patient to rate his/her experience in the past month with the following symptoms: [[sore throat]], tender [[lymph node]]s or [[swollen gland]]s in your neck or armpits, [[diarrhea]], unusual [[fatigue]] for at least one day after [[exertion]], [[Myalgia|muscle aches or pains]], [[Arthralgia|joint pain]], [[fever]], [[chill]]s, [[unrefreshing sleep]], [[Sleep dysfunction|sleeping problems]], [[headaches]]s, forgetfulness or [[memory problems]], [[Cognitive dysfunction|difficulty thinking or concentrating]], [[nausea]], stomach or [[abdominal pain]]s, sinus or nasal symptoms, [[Dyspnea|shortness of breath]], [[Photophobia|eye sensitivity to light]], [[depression]], and a blank line for any symptom not already listed.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal | last = Wagner | first = Dieter | last2 = Nisenbaum | first2 = Rosane | last3 = Heim | first3 = Christine | last4 = Jones | first4 = James F | last5 = Unger | first5 = Elizabeth R | last6 = Reeves | first6 = William C | date = 2005-07-22 | title = Psychometric properties of the CDC Symptom Inventory for assessment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome | url =https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1183246/ | journal = Population Health Metrics | volume = 3 | pages = 8|doi=10.1186/1478-7954-3-8|issn=1478-7954|pmc=1183246|pmid=16042777}}</ref>

Campbell CFS/Fibromyalgia Rating Scale

2024-10-21T20:24:48Z

Es10475:/* Learn more */ I updated the Campbell CFS/Fibromyalgia Rating Scale link to reflect the url change from "cfidsselfhelp.org" to "cfsselfhelp.org", per instructions at the redirect.

The '''Campbell CFS/Fibromyalgia Rating Scale''' was created by [[Bruce Campbell]] for "[[The Patient's Guide to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia]]", a self-help textbook for [[Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome|CFIDS]] and [[fibromyalgia]] patients provided by [[The CFIDS and Fibromyalgia Self-Help Program]] on their website.
