We validated a brief instrument to assess NT1 symptom frequency, severity, and consequences in ≥10-year-old children and adolescents with 4 clinically relevant severity score ranges. This scale constitutes a relevant tool to improve and provide guidance for NT1 management in pediatric populations. The ease of administration, its good psychometric properties, and its sensitivity to detect symptom changes after treatment ensure future use of the NSS-P in clinical and research settings.
