A Study of Migraine Attack Prediction for Improved Patient Outcomes

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to create individualized prediction models utilizing sensor data and cognitive function which will accurately identify the premonitory phase of the migraine attack and predict an oncoming migraine headache.

This study will seek to determine which measures differ between migraine attack phases (e.g., interictal vs. premonitory), develop an initial migraine prediction algorithm, and to provide insights into how long prior to headache onset premonitory changes begin. It will also look for migraine phenotypes associated with changes in sensor-measured data during the preictal vs. ictal or interictal periods.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate.

  • Migraine with or without aura.
  • 2+ migraine attacks per month, 2-14 migraine days per month and 2-20 headache days per month.
  • Stable headache pattern over the previous 3 months as reported by the study participant.
  • Own an Apple or Android mobile device or personal computer to host headache diary.

Exclusion Criteria: 

  • Unwilling or unable to complete the study assessments.
