Abstract
Our recent feasibility study of a telephone-administrated Behavioral Migraine Management (BMM) program for teens revealed that while learning and improvements in migraine were encouraging, experience for teens could be further improved with on-demand access to BMM instruction and materials. To meet this demand, an iPhone application was developed to help adolescent migraine patients and their counselors manage migraine with our behavioral migraine management approach. This application provides on-demand access to audio, video and animated instructions to guide the learning and application of behavioral migraine management skills as well as a headache diary that allows adolescents and their counselors to monitor key migraine and medication use variables. The design, implementation, current status, and future plan of this BMM iPhone App for adolescents are described in this paper.
