Hyperthyroidism Symptom Checklist
The Hyperthyroidism Symptom Checklist is a structured assessment tool for quantifying the symptom burden of Graves' disease and other thyrotoxicosis conditions. It captures the multisystem manifestations of excess thyroid hormone: cardiovascular (palpitations, tachycardia, arrhythmia), neuropsychiatric (anxiety, tremor, insomnia), metabolic (heat intolerance, weight loss, appetite), and eye-specific symptoms (in Graves' ophthalmopathy). Used in endocrinology practice and clinical trials to monitor disease activity and treatment response.
