iHeadache™ License Agreement

iHeadache is an app for the BlackBerry that allows you to keep a headache diary right on your phone. iHeadache captures real time information about your headaches. Real time information aids the patient and physician in making an accurate diagnosis and can be used to optimize the patient's care.

Studies have demonstrated that the misdiagnosis of the type of headache results in the patient not being prescribed the most effective medication. iHeadache is an expert system. It classifies your headache type by analyzing your symptoms, the duration of the headache and medications taken. It follows the International Headache Society Criteria (IHS II Criteria) and classifies your headache as a Migraine, Probable Migraine, Tension Headache or Unclassified Headache. To read more about IHS Headache Classification visit ww.ihs-classification.org.

Specifying your iHeadache Preferences

Headache order test preference

It is possible for a headache to meet the criteria for both “probable migraine” and “tension headache”.  Headache experts disagree how these headaches should be counted.  According to the most recent definitions of headache from the International Headache Society, the directive is to count these headaches as tension headaches but some physicians prefer to count them as probable migraines.   Set the preference by choosing to test for “tension headaches” first or “probable migraines” first. 

Medication Names in Reports

The reports can show the generic name, trade name or both names depending on the option specified.

  Headache duration rules

The official diagnosis of an individual migraine headache is one that either lasts at least four hours or goes away when a medication used specifically to treat migraines is taken.  For the purpose of tracking or counting migraines, you can:

If a medication prescribed specifically to treat migraines is taken during the headache, the duration requirement will be considered met while evaluating the type.
