“…As mentioned earlier, the use of digital twins has been considered for neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis [ 48 ], Alzheimer’s disease, dementia [ 55 ], and stroke [ 47 , 56 ], as well as for advancing personalized care. Currently, no digital twin exists for migraines; however, in theory, digital twins can be constructed and utilized for migraine care [ 57 ]. Personalized care for migraines [ 58 ] and a patient-centric approach to migraine management [ 59 ] have indeed been suggested.…”

“…Managing the coappearance of other diseases with migraines and the need for consuming several medications at the same time can be highly challenging. The application of digital twins can provide benefits from diagnosis to the treatment of migraines [ 57 ], because such an application makes it possible to examine different treatment plans with digital twins and predict prognosis and medication responses.…”

“…The uncertainty of their recurrent nature and the burden of the interictal phase of migraines [ 116 ] provide an opportunity for stepping outside the traditional treatment framework and enabling more advanced care. Constructing and utilizing digital twins for migraine treatment can be a way forward in this direction [ 57 ]. It is perhaps just a matter of time before the application of digital twins for migraines to optimize prevention and treatment is realized.…”

Intelligent digital twins closely resemble their real-life counterparts. In health and medical care, they enable the real-time monitoring of patients, whereby large amounts of data can be collected to produce actionable information. These powerful tools are constructed with the aid of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning; the Internet of Things; and cloud computing to collect a diverse range of digital data (e.g., from digital patient journals, wearable sensors, and digitized monitoring equipment or processes), which can provide information on the health conditions and therapeutic responses of their physical twins. Intelligent digital twins can enable data-driven clinical decision making and advance the realization of personalized care. Migraines are a highly prevalent and complex neurological disorder affecting people of all ages, genders, and geographical locations. It is ranked among the top disabling diseases, with substantial negative personal and societal impacts, but the current treatment strategies are suboptimal. Personalized care for migraines has been suggested to optimize their treatment. The implementation of intelligent digital twins for migraine care can theoretically be beneficial in supporting patient-centric care management. It is also expected that the implementation of intelligent digital twins will reduce costs in the long run and enhance treatment effectiveness. This study briefly reviews the concept of digital twins and the available literature on digital twins for health disorders such as neurological diseases. Based on these, the potential construction and utility of digital twins for migraines will then be presented. The potential and challenges when implementing intelligent digital twins for the future management of migraines are also discussed.
