Migraine
Conditions
Brief summary
Evaluation of migraine management mobile app combined with electrophysiological measurements for identification of migraine attack risk and beneficial preventive actions.
Interventions
BrainMARC Ltd. has demonstrated in recent years the ability to extract effective attention markers from averaged ERP waves sampled with a single EEG channel (two electrodes). In addition, BrainMARC has developed a template matching method to extract the attention-related markers at the single-trial level. An index (termed Brain Engagement Index - BEI) can then be generated from a 1-minute, single-channel sample.

Intervention model description
2 groups of 15-45 patients will be recruited in parallel and monitored for 4-6 weeks, than they will be followed for 4-6 weeks. They will receive feedback based on diary information and EEG.
