Healthy subjects were asked to complete the test twice. A statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the validity and test-retest reliability of the questionnaire. Patients were divided into three groups. Group 1 were patients with COM; Group 2 represented the first test of the control group; and Group 3 represented the second test of the control group. Cronbach’s test was performed to test internal consistency, and Spearman’s test was performed to evaluate test-retest validity.Results: The average score was 30.64 for Group 1, 3.60 for Group 2, and 3.66 for Group 3.
