If you\u2019re living with traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic headache, chronic migraines, sleep issues or other health conditions, managing your headaches <\/a>can feel overwhelming. Keeping track of symptoms, managing medications and keeping up with appointments can be exhausting.<\/p>\n

To make the process easier, VA, in collaboration with Yale University, has launched the VA Headache Coach,\u00a0<\/a>a free, easy-to-use tool designed to help you better manage headache disorders anytime, anywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Veteran dealing with frequent headaches, it\u2019s tough to track symptoms during an episode, especially because you can\u2019t think clearly during a migraine,\u201d said Army Veteran Vince Lively, who recently started using the app.<\/p>\n

Available now on the Apple app store, the app helps you build personalized care strategies and track your progress over time. It aligns with VA\u2019s Whole Health model<\/a> by empowering you to take an active role in your treatment and recovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Headache Coach App makes it easy. Just a quick tap to log pain with simple options for severity and location,\u201d said Lively, \u201cIt avoids the clutter of other apps and focuses on what matters most\u2014helping us communicate with our doctors without the extra stress. Best of all, it\u2019s free for Veterans, which makes a real difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
