Title: Medication overuse headache--with migraine history Post by Bob Johnson on Jan 24th, 2012 at 3:18pm
Curr Pain Headache Rep. 2008 Apr;12(2):122-7.
Medication-overuse headache in patients with cluster headache. Paemeleire K, Evers S, Goadsby PJ. SourceHeadache Clinic, Department of Neurology, Ghent University Hospital, De Pintelaan 185, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium. koen.paemeleire@ugent.be Abstract Cluster headache (CH) is associated with the most severe pain of the primary headache disorders. Barriers to optimal care include misdiagnosis, diagnostic delay, undertreatment, and mismanagement. Medication-overuse headache (MOH) may further complicate CH and may present as increased CH frequency or development of a background headache, which may be featureless or have some migrainous quality. A PERSONAL OR FAMILIAL HISTORY OF MIGRAINE APPEARS TO BE STRONGLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOH IN CH.... PATIENTS WITH CH, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH A PERSONAL AND/OR FAMILY HISTORY OF MIGRAINE, MUST BE CAREFULLY MONITORED FOR MOH, AND MEDICATION WITHDRAWAL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IF A CH PATIENT PRESENTS WITH FEATURES OF MOH.

Thanks for sharing Bob.
In my opinion, you post more neurological info than anybody and think we should have a side bar/yellow tab titled "Bob J's Library" containing all of your pdf files, etc. Hope all is well with you ;) -Gregg in Las Vegas |
