A smartphone-based relaxation app could help migraine sufferers reduce the number of headaches they get each month, a small study suggests.
Using the app twice a week was associated with an average of four fewer headache days per month, according to the report in Nature Digital Medicine.
“Our study offers evidence that patients may pursue behavioral therapy if it is easily accessible, they can do it on their own time, and it is affordable,” says Minen, the study’s senior investigator. “Clinicians need to rethink their treatment approach to migraine because many of the accepted therapies, although proven to be the current, best course of treatment, aren’t working for all lifestyles.”
