Yes. Your attack logs, symptoms, and personal health information are stored securely and are never sold or shared with third parties for advertising purposes. See our Privacy Policy for full details on how your data is handled.
MigraClarity asks new users to select a gender mode because migraine presents differently and is driven by different biological mechanisms in women and men. Female mode tracks hormonal cycle correlation and surfaces luteal phase risk. Male mode emphasizes sleep, exertion, and stress, the trigger categories most clinically relevant to men. This shapes what the app tracks and what appears in your doctor report.
No. MigraClarity is a tracking and reporting tool, not a diagnostic device or a substitute for medical care. It helps you collect accurate, structured data about your condition so that conversations with your doctor or neurologist are more productive. Diagnosis and treatment decisions should always be made by a qualified healthcare professional.
MigraClarity is currently available in English and Spanish.
MigraClarity pulls real-time and forecasted barometric pressure data for your location and combines it with your personal attack history to generate a 7-day migraine risk outlook. Because pressure sensitivity varies significantly between individuals, the forecast becomes more accurate the more attacks you log.
The report is a PDF formatted to align with ICHD-3 headache diary conventions, the format neurologists use to evaluate headache disorders. It includes attack frequency, top triggers, treatment outcomes, barometric pressure patterns, and, for users in female mode, hormonal cycle correlation.
Migraine is a neurological disorder, not simply a severe headache. It typically involves moderate to severe, often one-sided, throbbing pain that worsens with activity, along with associated symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. A tension headache, by contrast, usually produces mild to moderate, band-like pressure without those associated symptoms.
Migraine affects approximately one in seven people worldwide and is the second leading cause of disability globally, according to the World Health Organization. Women are affected roughly three times more often than men.
There is currently no cure for migraine, but it can be effectively managed. Acute treatments reduce the severity and duration of individual attacks, while preventive treatments, both pharmacological and behavioral, can meaningfully reduce how often attacks occur. Many people achieve significant improvement in quality of life with an appropriate, individualized treatment plan.
You should seek medical evaluation for headaches that are frequent, severe, disabling, or that have changed in pattern. Seek immediate emergency care for a sudden, severe headache unlike any you have had before, a headache with fever and neck stiffness, or a headache accompanied by new neurological symptoms such as weakness, confusion, or vision loss.
Genetics play a significant role. Research published in Neurology has found that first-degree relatives of people with migraine are two to four times more likely to develop the condition themselves. However, genetics create susceptibility; environmental and physiological triggers determine when and whether attacks actually occur.
Yes. Migraine affects approximately ten percent of school-age children and up to twenty-eight percent of teenagers. Pediatric migraine often differs from the adult presentation, including shorter attack duration and more frequently bilateral pain.
Migraine with aura involves reversible neurological symptoms, most often visual disturbances, that typically precede the headache phase and develop gradually over five or more minutes before resolving within an hour. Migraine without aura does not include these symptoms. Roughly thirty percent of people with migraine experience aura, at least occasionally.
