This research explores the effectiveness of three distinct treatment strategies for MOH, shedding light on the best approach for managing this challenging condition. This research offers valuable insights into the complexities of MOH and the best path to relief.

Evaluating Three Treatment Strategies for MOH

The study compared three different treatment strategies for MOH: withdrawal therapy with preventive medication, preventive medication alone, and withdrawal therapy with optional preventive medication. The study found that all three strategies were effective in reducing headache days, but withdrawal therapy combined with preventive medication from the start of withdrawal showed the most promising results in terms of achieving remission to episodic headache and curing MOH. The study found that the combination of withdrawal therapy and preventive medication was most effective in reducing headache days and achieving remission, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive approach to managing MOH.
