The Arabic version of the PGI is a feasible, acceptable, and valid measure among Jordanians with MS. PGI also captures more important areas that contribute to QOL than EQ-5D and PDDS. PGI could improve the decision making and guide healthcare professionals to provide appropriate intervention programs to reduce the burdens from MS disease and improve QOL.
