Innovative Digital Migraine Startup Ctrl M Health Featured as a "Business for Good"

July 28, 2021, Philadelphia - Digital health startup Ctrl M Health has been named a “Business for Good” in a front-page article in The Philadelphia Citizen. The feature highlights Ctrl M Health’s innovative app, which guides users through the lifestyle changes proven by research to reduce migraine. It notes the expertise of Ctrl M Health’s partners, the renowned Jefferson Headache Center. The article also highlights the app’s effectiveness for migraine relief, with one user favorably comparing it to a three-week outpatient program: “It is basically the pain management program that I did at Cleveland Clinic, but in a way that’s accessible to everybody.”

In addition, the article underscores the vast need for reliable migraine information and treatment: While some 40 million Americans have migraine, they are served by only a few hundred specialists nationwide.

Ctrl M Health’s migraine relief solutions launched in September 2020 to help fill that gap. In a unique partnership with the Jefferson Headache Center at Thomas Jefferson University -- recognized among the top headache centers -- Ctrl M Health seeks to democratize access to high-quality migraine care. Ctrl M Health has three components:

• a free, doctor-vetted digital migraine resource library, the Knowledge Portal

• a line of migraine dietary supplements designed by neurologists

• a mobile app that acts as a migraine coach, containing a personalized plan, the Ctrl M Power System, guiding users through lifestyle changes to decrease migraine

“For the 40 million Americans with migraine, Ctrl M Health can uniquely help improve their quality of life. This program is truly the first of its kind,” says Will Gadsden, Ctrl M Health CEO and Co-founder. “We are proud to deliver a comprehensive digital migraine wellness program of the highest caliber. Ctrl M Health is connecting people to the migraine resources they need so they can reclaim their lives.”
