Randomized Controlled Trial Pragmatic Clinical TrialBrief intervention for medication-overuse headache in primary care. The BIMOH study: a double-blind pragmatic cluster randomised parallel controlled trial.
Medication-overuse headache (MOH) is common in the general population. We investigated effectiveness of brief intervention (BI) for achieving drug withdrawal in primary care patients with MOH. ⋯ The BI method provides GPs with a simple and effective instrument that reduces medication-overuse and headache frequency in patients with MOH.
