Abstract
Purpose of review: Several innovative digital technologies have begun to be applied to diagnosing and treating migraine. We reviewed the potential benefits and opportunities from delivering migraine care through comprehensive digital clinics.
Recent findings: There are increasing applications of digitization to migraine diagnosis and management, including e-diaries, and patient self-management, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital care delivery appears to better engage chronic migraine sufferers who may struggle to present to physical clinics.
Summary: Digital clinics appear to be a promising treatment modality for patients with chronic migraine. They potentially minimize travel time, shorten waiting periods, improve usability, and increase access to neurologists. Additionally, they have the potential to provide care at a much lower cost than traditional physical clinics. However, the current state of evidence mostly draws on case-reports, suggesting a need for future randomized trials comparing digital interventions with standard care pathways.
