The AMMO digital therapeutic (DTx) study will provide an online based program for participants with migraines after head injury to follow for 12 weeks. This study aims to see if using cognitive behavioral therapy aimed at military service members in an online self-administered platform is effective therapy in the relief of migraines compared. The study will use a single blind online comparative program to test the effect.
