Engagement and predictors of use of a smartphone app for migraine self-management: A secondary analysis of the EMMA trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this secondary analysis was to examine engagement with a mobile app for migraine self-management and to identify predictors of migraine app usage.

Background

Migraine self-monitoring and behavioral strategies are central components in migraine self-management, but patient adherence often remains a challenge. Recently, migraine apps have shown promise in enabling more frequent and continuous headache tracking and supporting self-management by integrating behavioral strategies; however, data on patient engagement with these digital interventions are still scarce.

Methods

This secondary analysis of the EMMA trial used the full dataset of the intervention group, which received a migraine app for 24 weeks, and examined app engagement and factors
