Abstract

Migraine or tension-type headache lasting for several years is frequently complicated by chronic daily headaches. Those patients recurrently take analgesics or ergotamines. Headache induced by chronic ergotamine use is well known. Recent studies, however, have shown that a similar form of headache is caused by analgesic abuse. Treatment of drug-induced headaches envisages withdrawal of the headache medication.
