Cross-cultural Adaptation and Validity of the Arabic-translated NEUROPATHY-SPECIFIC QUALITY OF LIFE Questionnaire

The NeuroQoL questionnaire is a valid, reliable, and self-reported questionnaire. It has 35-items with six domains namely, painful symptoms and paresthesia (items 1-7), reduction or loss of ability to feel (items 8-10), unsteadiness while walking/standing/diffuse sensory-motor symptoms (items 11-13), limitation in daily living (items 14 - 16), interpersonal problems (items 17-20), emotional distress (items 21- 27) and end with an overall assessment of quality of life or satisfaction with experiences in the above six domains \[1 item in each domains, i.e. additional 6 items (items 28-33)\]. The two final items (items 34-35) assess overall impact of neuropathy on QoL \[5\]. The scoring of the questionnaire is according to a five-point Likert scale, all the time, most of the time, some of the time, occasionally, never. Each domain has a maximum score 5 and minimum 1, where 5 means that the QoL is affected all the time because of the foot problem while 1 means never it affects their QoL
