With CéphaléeClic, doctor Valentin Raclot, allows better management of patients with migraine. An increasingly recognized disease, migraine affects approximately 20% of French people.
Fighting migraines with a website is the solution found by doctor Valentin Raclot with HeadacheClick.
The idea is that healthcare professionals can use the tool in consultation with their patients. On the site, the doctor fills out a form with the patient’s symptoms. Once this form has been completed, the site proposes treatment hypotheses.
Headaches are pains in the head, prolonged in the neck and sometimes the nape of the neck. It is a disease that affects approximately 20% of the French.
“With my site, health professionals will be able to diagnose better.“Dr. Raclot hopes that CéphaléeClic will improve the care of patients with migraine by 5%.
It seems incredible that it did not exist before!
Dr. Raclot created this tool for his thesis to become a medical doctor. The team of doctors around CéphaléeClic was also a member of the jury during its defense.

For general practitioners, access to medical recommendations (studies, analyses, documents, etc.) is also sometimes complicated. With CéphaléeClic, they can keep up to date with research on headaches.
In almost two monthsCéphaléeClic has been used more than 2000 times in several French-speaking countries such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and Morocco.
According to INSERM, migraine affects 12% of adults and about 5 to 10% of children. The women are two to three more concerned than men. It is a benign neurological disease, invisible on CT or MRI. “It is on the list of disabling pathologies of the WHO“, emphasizes Doctor Raclot.
It describes a fatality shared by everyone, doctors as well as patients, in the face of pathology. Migraine is a source of medical wandering.
For 70% of migraine sufferers, the attacks last between 4 and 72 hoursand with a frequency one to four times a month.
Migraine and cephalalgic patients are not sufficiently recognized.
There are two types of migraines: chronic and episodic. Background treatments help to reduce their frequency. Some drugs such as antidepressants, antihypertensives and antiepileptics are diverted to relieve migraine sufferers but there are possibly side effects.
Migraine attacks occur with or without aura. The aura is the set of disorders that occur before or during the crisis. 20 to 30% of cases are seizures with aura.
In the future, Dr. Raclot wants each type of migraine to be managed by a specialist doctor. He wants to keep the standby part by developing complementary treatments to drug treatments. He also has a degree in manual medicine-osteopathy and is preparing another in sports medicine. He wants to take care of all the factors that can cause migraines.

For Dr Raclot, CéphaléeClic and other sites of the same type are the “witness to a movement of young doctors wishing to fight against inertia and modernize medicine“His site is already referenced on KitMedical, a portal of digital tools for general practitioners.”I’m already super proud of what’s going on.“
For the future, he would like to organize a center of doctors to create a very high quality sector for patients in Burgundy. “The site allows us to speak the same language.“
CéphaléeClic is funded by local companies and associations, including Mutualité Française Bourguignonne and La voix des Migraineux.
