The full list of trigger templates

This is the long reference list of every auto-trigger template MigraineMe knows about. You do not need to read it in one go. Treat it like a cookbook: dip in when you want to look something up.

Each row tells you:

  1. The name as it appears in your Triggers screen.
  2. The direction: high (fires when a value goes too high), low (fires when a value goes too low), or manual (logged by hand, no automatic firing).
  3. The default threshold, with units, where it applies. This is the line the trigger uses out of the box. You can change it from the gear icon in the top-left → Manage Items → Triggers.

All automatic templates are checked once an hour as new data arrives. Manual triggers are listed here so you know they exist; they appear in your trigger pool ready to log when you record a migraine.

There are 165 templates in total, grouped into the categories below.

How to change any of these

To switch a template's automatic detection on or off, or to change its threshold, open the gear icon in the top-left of the screen, tap Manage Items, then tap Triggers. Tap a trigger's row to expand it: inside are the Auto-detect switch and, where it applies, the "Fires above/below" threshold. Tap Save & Recalculate at the bottom to apply your changes.

For step-by-step guides, see:

Notes on numbers

The thresholds above are the defaults MigraineMe ships with. They are sensible starting points based on general guidance, not strict medical limits. Your own body may need different numbers, and that is what the Triggers screen is for.
