Predictors of 12‐Months Relapse After Withdrawal Treatment in Hospitalized Patients With Chronic Migraine Associated With Medication Overuse: A Longitudinal Observational Study

Abstract

Predictors or relapse into CM and of occurrence of another withdrawal by 12-months are somehow similar. It is important to assess presence of recent previous withdrawal treatments and to plan regular follow-up afterwards, in particular for patients with high headache frequency and relevant mood disturbances: in this way, it will be more likely that situations requiring further structured withdrawal treatments can be identified before patients have to refer to ER.
