Factors Associated With Medication-Overuse Headache in Patients Seeking Treatment for Primary Headache.

CONCLUSIONS: Items that assess headache-related disability, use of combination medications, and fear of pain help identify patients who are currently overusing acute headache medications and may serve as indicators of treatment progress. Future studies should apply similar analytic approaches longitudinally to identify headache sufferers at risk for medication-overuse headache prior to headache progression.
