The MSQOL-54 is a multidimensional health-related quality of life measure that combines both generic and MS-specific items into a single instrument.

The subscales are: physical function, role limitations-physical, role limitations-emotional, pain, emotional well-being, energy, health perceptions, social function, cognitive function, health distress, overall quality of life, and sexual function.
