The best migraine tracker for CGRP, and how to choose one
Most migraine apps are built for one job: logging attacks. That's useful, but it's not the job that matters when you're on a CGRP preventive. There, the stakes are different: you have to prove the treatment is working, on a schedule, to keep it covered.
Here's the checklist that actually matters for CGRP patients, and how a purpose-built tracker compares to a generic headache diary.
Based on publicly available information; competitor features may change. = partial.
Where a generic headache diary shines
Credit where it's due. These are real strengths.
- Quick to start and familiar
- Good enough for casual pattern-spotting
- Often free for basic logging
Where we're built different
It speaks the renewal's language
Baseline vs current MMD, % reduction, MIDAS, HIT-6, MOH: the exact metrics a prior-authorization review asks for, calculated as you log.
Logging survives a real attack
One-thumb Migraine Mode is designed for photophobia and pain, so you actually capture the bad days, which are the ones that count.
Sharing that respects you
Encrypted, revocable, passcode-protected links or a clean PDF: you decide who sees your health data and for how long.
The honest verdict
For casual logging, almost any diary works. For CGRP prevention, the right tracker is the one that turns your logs into a renewal you can defend: baseline-to-current numbers, disability scores, overuse flags, and private sharing. That's the bar Migraine Tracker: CGRP Log was built to clear.
Best CGRP tracker: your questions
At minimum: an accurate monthly-migraine-day count, a baseline you can compare against, percent-reduction math, disability scoring (MIDAS/HIT-6), medication-overuse awareness, and a way to share a clean report with your clinician.
