Research Summary
A recent study in Cephalalgia explored how online health information and AI tools influence migraine treatment decisions in the MENA region. Conducted with 4,276 migraine patients across 13 countries, the study found that 76% had adequate digital health literacy. Neurologists and physicians were the most trusted, while social media influencers were the least trusted sources. About one-third of patients changed or delayed treatment based on online information. Trust in online info was linked to delayed care (aOR 6.48), whereas AI tool use was linked to cautious treatment changes (aOR 0.29). Findings stress the need for reliable online health resources.
