The BRAF-MDQ is a multidimensional questionnaire (20 items) developed with patients. This suggests there are 4 distinct domains of fatigue in RA – Living with fatigue, Physical severity, Emotional fatigue and Cognitive fatigue (thinking). The BRAF-VAS is 3 single questions that measure the severity, impact and perceived ability to cope with RA fatigue. This was the PhD thesis of Dr Jo Nicklin.
