Migräne App 2.3.4

The Migraine App represents a milestone in the prevention and treatment of migraines and headaches. It was developed in close collaboration with experts from the Pain Clinic Kiel, the nationwide headache treatment network, and the Techniker Krankenkasse. The migraine and headache self-help communities on Facebook and www.headbook.me provided continuous support during its development. The new Migraine App opens up entirely new possibilities in the digital care of migraines and headaches. It guides and manages the personal treatment process, providing orientation and groundbreaking new opportunities in terms of documentation, diagnostics, effective treatment, prevention of chronicity, measurement of pain-related disability, relaxation, stress reduction, knowledge, information, nutrition, and fitness. Additionally, it enables nationwide exchange and digital networking among sufferers as well as with migraine and headache experts.

The Migraine App empowers users to take an active role in the effective and contemporary prevention and treatment of their migraines and headaches. It provides an individual overview of treatment plans and assists in the personalized implementation of guidelines. A "cockpit" with display tools on the welcome page informs about all relevant data regarding acute treatment and prevention. It monitors symptoms and medications while offering active treatment methods like progressive muscle relaxation for prevention. The migraine and headache progression is continuously documented and analyzed. Trigger factors such as weather data are automatically added to the history to help personally identify connections between weather changes and migraines. The Migraine App issues warnings when exceeding acute medication intake limits, actively assisting in avoiding complications such as medication overuse headache (MOH). By leveraging digital technology, disability due to migraines and headaches can be actively reduced.

A quick test aids in identifying the type of headache. Scales determine the risk of headache chronification and the optimal timing for acute treatment intake. Experts from the nationwide headache treatment network can be located nearby. A media library provides updates on current news related to migraine and headache treatments. The app offers the criteria of the current international Headache Classification ICHD-3 beta digitally. Affected individuals can engage in online discussions and networking through social networks like Headbook and the Facebook Migraine Community. Regular live chats facilitate direct interaction with headache experts from the Pain Clinic Kiel.
