Bristol rheumatoid arthritis fatigue scales

We have developed and validated the BRAFs (Bristol Rheumatoid Arthritis Fatigue Scales). They include the BRAF MDQ (Multi-Dimensional Questionnaire) and the BRAF NRS (Numerical Rating Scales).

The BRAF MDQ is a 20-item measure that provides a global score, plus domain scores for:

• living with fatigue physical fatigue
• emotional fatigue
• cognitive fatigue.

There are three BRAF NRS. They are single item measures of fatigue severity, fatigue effect and fatigue coping.

Bristol rheumatoid arthritis fatigue scales (BRAFS) are free to use for clinical or academic reasons. If you are a researcher, we will be able to look out for your publications that add to the scales validation.
