AI-assisted Migraine Education: Efficacy, Safety and Patients' Acceptance

Migraine affecting approximately 1 in 7 individuals globally, significantly impacts quality of life and economic productivity due to its associated healthcare and social burdens. Despite its prevalence, awareness and understanding of migraine remain limited, contributing to misdiagnosis, inadequate treatment, and the perpetuation of stigmatization.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) may advance migraine management by improving diagnosis, prediction, and educational outreach. AI applications are currently being employed in diagnosing migraines more accurately by analyzing comprehensive patient data, thus differentiating migraine from other types of headaches. Additionally, AI algorithms predict migraine episodes, enabling preemptive measures. They also streamline medication management through reminders and monitor patient adherence, which is crucial for preventing medication overuse and optimizing treatment outcomes.

Moreover, AI can bridge the educational gap in migraine understanding. By using adaptive learning technologies, AI platforms can deliver personalized educational content, tailored to an individual's knowledge level and learning pace, enhancing understanding and engagement. This approach not only facilitates better management of the condition but also promotes a broader societal awareness essential for destigmatizing migraine.

The primary objective of this study is to ascertain if the addition of AI-assisted migraine education to standard migraine education yields a superior improvement in the patients' understanding of their condition.
