Medication Overuse Treatment Strategy Trial for Migraine and Headache

April 9, 2022

It can seem like the very medicines we were instructed to take at the onset of migraine are suddenly being blamed for causing our chronic migraine.

The idea of medication overuse and medication overuse headache can seem almost contradictory at times. It can seem like the very medicines we were instructed to take at the onset of migraine are suddenly being blamed for causing our chronic migraine. Stopping their use entirely can seem like a very scary idea.

In this episode of Heads UP, Lindsay Weitzel, Ph.D., discusses the results with Dr. Vincent Martin, who was one of the investigators on the MOTS Trial.
