Tracking your migraines is an essential part of managing your symptoms. A headache diary can help you see how often you have migraines, how long they last, and how severe they are. Jotting down your migraine symptoms can also help identify patterns and see if there are specific triggers.
Older migraine tracking methods include using pen and paper or an excel sheet. However, now there are smartphone apps to help you keep detailed records of your migraine symptoms. Some apps let you note time stamps when your pain increases and log whether you took medication. And the longer you use a symptom tracker, the more information you’ll have to share with your doctor. This can help you choose the right treatment strategy.
The four best headache apps to track your migraine symptoms are:
- BonTriage
- Migraine Buddy
- Migraine Monitor
- N1-Headache, formerly Curelator Headache
These apps let you track triggers and medication and give you detailed reports and insights to share with your doctor.
