Brief Summary

This is a short-term validation study of a quality of life metric "Prolac-10" for patients diagnosed with a prolactinoma, undergoing new medical therapy.

Detailed Description

This is a single-site validation study of a novel quality of life study for patients undergoing medical therapy for prolactinoma. Patients will be consented before starting their medical regimen and complete the "Prolac-10" questionnaire for baseline and will continued to be followed for 13-weeks into their medical care. The primary goal of this study is to validate the novel quality of life questionnaire in terms of sensitivity, repeatability, and consistency. Secondarily, we aim to validate the test-retest characteristics to further validate sensitivity, repeatability, and consistency.
