7. Discussion: web survey vs. Migraine Buddy App
Other PC-based surveys… (PC-bias)
25. Berengueres & Cadiou | 25
7. Discussion
1. Discrepancies by locale:
• Lost in translation sinus
• Geographic/culture factor skipped a meal
• Unknown factor
• (UX/UI/Lang/DNA/?) pain asymmetry JPN
vs non JPN
2. Popular triggers vs what research actually focuses on
• We found top triggers anxiety & stress
• Not top menstruation, weather, food
• However, most studies focus on weather, food)
3. We show an alternative to case crossover studies
• more global, convenient and wider in scope
• All approaches suffer bias (ER bias, smartphone
bias, geographic bias…)
4. Further works:
1. Migraine waves / AI
2. Could not replicate correlation with temperature
from other studies (Boston ref. Mittelmann)
