MIGRAINE 2.0

"Migraine 2.0" is not an official medical diagnosis, but the term is increasingly used in two specific contexts: the new era of CGRP treatments and digital health tracking apps.

A turning point for migraine care in Ireland? 🇮🇪💊

We welcome the news and wholeheartedly thank IPHA but we are adopting a "believe it when we see it" approach. We won't be celebrating until the first patients are holding these new prescriptions in their hands.

Did you know that medical knowledge is now expanding so fast it’s almost impossible for humans to keep up? 🤯

Year Knowledge Doubling Time

1950 - 50 years

1980 - 7 years

2010 - 3.5 years

2026 - ~73 days

For decades, migraine diagnosis has relied almost entirely on patient history and "invisible" symptoms. But in 2026, the push for objective biomarkers is sparking a major debate in the neurology community.

Where do you stand? Should we keep diagnosis clinical, or is it time to let the data lead?

AI Predicting CGRP Inhibitor Response

The Result: The model demonstrated high predictive accuracy for CGRP inhibitor response (Area Under the Curve (AUC) $\approx 0.83$), suggesting it can reliably distinguish between responders and non-responders before treatment begins.

The Thief

To live with migraine is to live in a state of constant "temporal theft," where you are always trying to buy back a future that the pain has already spent.

$78B+ Annual Cost: In the U.S. alone,
89% is "Presenteeism":
Investing in migraine care isn't just a perk—it’s a high-yield business strategy.
