摘要

Purpose

To develop a patient-reported screening tool, the Sinus Headache Screener (SHS), to differentiate non-rhinogenic facial pain (NRFP) from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) using qualitative research methods.

Methods

We conducted semi-structured interviews with 26 English-speaking adults (15 NRFP, 11 CRS). Interviews included concept elicitation and cognitive interviewing techniques. Content analysis was used to analyze transcripts, and items were iteratively refined over three rounds of interviews.

Results

The final list of potential SHS items consisted of 89 items across 8 sections, including symptoms, episode characteristics, triggers, and treatments.

Conclusions

This study represents the first step in developing a screening questionnaire to identify patients with NRFP in clinical settings. The item list provides a foundation for future quantitative studies to refine the questionnaire, potentially leading to more appropriate diagnosis and treatment of patients presenting with facial pain or pressure.
