Method evidence record

Menopause Rating Scale

The MRS is an 11-item self-report symptom scale designed to assess the frequency and severity of menopausal symptoms including vasomotor complaints, psychologic symptoms, and urogenital manifestations. Developed by Heinemann and colleagues in Germany and first published in 2000, it has become the most widely used symptom measure in menopause research and clinical practice across 60+ countries and languages.
