The present invention relates to a device (20) for analyzing neural activity in the brain of a patient by functional brain imaging to diagnose, assess, follow-up and/or classify a migraine condition of the patient. The device comprises an input (21) for receiving functional brain imaging data of the brain of the patient and an an output (22) for outputting at least one value. Furthermore, the device comprises a processor (23) for determining at least one activity measure indicative of brain activity in at least one predetermined region of interest, and/or between such regions of interest, based on the functional brain imaging data. The processor is adapted to determine and output the at least one value based on (at least) said activity measure(s), The value(s) represent(s) a patient-specific migraine score, a migraine type classification, a prognostic/predictive value, an assessment of influence of different types of migraine triggering events and/or of efficacy and/or suitability of different treatments.
A device configured to analyze neural activity in the brain of a patient by functional brain imaging to diagnose, assess, follow-up and/or classify a migraine condition of the patient, the device comprising:
A computer-implemented method for analyzing neural activity in the brain of a patient by functional brain imaging to diagnose, assess, follow-up and/or classify a migraine condition of the patient, the method comprising:
