Abstract

Wielding modern technology in the form of artificial intelligence (AI) or deep learning (DL) can utilize the best possible latest computer application in intricate decision-making and enigmatic problem-solving. It has been recommended in many fields. However, it is a long way from achieving an ambitious genuine intention when it comes to understanding and identifying any headache condition or classification, and using it error-free. No studies hitherto formalized any headache AI models to accurately classify headaches.  A machine’s job can be arduous when incorporating an emotional dimension in decision making, re-challenging its own diagnosis by keeping a differential at all times, where even experienced neurologists or headache experts sometimes find it demanding to make a precise analysis and formulate a methodical plan. This could be because of spanning clinical presentation at a given moment of time or a change in clinical pattern over time which apparently could be due to intercrossing multiple pathophysiologies. We did a short literature review on the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in headache classification. This brings forth a minuscule insight into the vastness of headaches and the perpetual effort and exploration headache may demand from AI when trying to scrutinize its classification. Undoubtedly, AI or DL could better be utilized in identifying the red flags of headache, as it might help our patients at home or the primary care physicians/practicing doctors/non- neurologists in their clinic to triage the headache patients if they need an imperative higher center referral to a neurologist for advanced evaluation. This outlook can limit the burden on a handful of headache specialists by minimizing the referrals to a tertiary care setting.Copyright © 2022, Daripa et al.
