Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Digital Health
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Biofeedback is an effective migraine treatment, influencing the nervous system and stress resilience.
  • Traditional biofeedback requires therapists and equipment, limiting accessibility.
  • Mobile health (mHealth) technology offers potential for accessible, self-administered biofeedback interventions for migraine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate and enhance the feasibility and usability of an mHealth biofeedback app for adults with migraine.
  • To assess user experience and adherence in a self-administered, therapist-independent setting.

Main Methods:

  • A 4-week prospective usability study involving 18 adults with migraine.
  • Participants used a smartphone app with wearable sensors (Cerebri) for biofeedback training and a headache diary.
  • Data collected via interviews, questionnaires, and adherence tracking.

Main Results:

  • High adherence rate (mean 0.76) with 391 sessions completed.
  • Positive user experience reported, with high scores for functionality and design.
  • Suggestions for improvement focused on wearable design and app content; intervention was safe and tolerable.

Conclusions:

  • The mHealth biofeedback app demonstrated good usability, high adherence, and positive user experience.
  • Rigorous usability testing is crucial for developing effective mHealth interventions for migraine.
  • This app offers a promising, accessible self-management tool for individuals with migraine.
