HD-QoL/Evidence
Method evidence record

HD-QoL

The HD-QoL is a disease-specific quality-of-life instrument designed to measure the multidimensional impact of Huntington's disease on patients' physical, emotional, social, and cognitive functioning. Developed by Helder and colleagues in 2001, it uniquely addresses the progressive motor, cognitive, and psychiatric manifestations characteristic of HD. The scale recognizes that HD burden extends beyond neurological deficits to profound impacts on identity, family relationships, and existential well-being.
