The effectiveness of treatments for patients with medication overuse headache; a systematic review and meta-analysis

Worldwide, about 1–2% of the adult population suffers from chronic headache due to overuse of pain medication. Guidelines recommend acute withdrawal of medication, but the optimal treatment remains unknown. We aim to evaluate the benefit of treatments for patients with medication overuse headache (MOH).We performed an extensive literature search until November 2015, selecting randomized controlled trials that evaluated interventions for adults with MOH. Two authors assessed the eligible trials and extracted data.
