Development of an app to study the attention through the migraine cycle of a patient

Abstract

Migraine is a brain disorder that causes episodes of pain with high intensity. This pathology has a high disability rate, and it affects people worldwide in their everyday basis. Therefore, this article looks forward to developing an application to test the attentional response of patients that have migraine, to be able to establish in the future the variability in attention as a predictor of migraine attacks. Through the development of different tests such as a reaction time test, or an object orientation test, the application will show the difference in the attentional response of the users. This project has been done with the collaboration of the Research Laboratory in Headache and Neurological Pain of the VHIR (Vall d’Hebron Research Institute).
