Zaza Katsarava, MD, PhD, MSc, University of Essen, Essen, Germany, outlines the key concepts in the management of medication overuse headache. Many patients with migraine or tension-type headache develop chronic medication overuse headache, which is associated with a reduced quality of life and psychiatric comorbidities. Prof. Katsarava highlights patient education and medication detoxification as a critical step in the effective management of these patients.
