Headache caused by excessive use of medication (MOH) is a headache that lasts longer than 15 days a month in people who have a basic primary headache and who use excessive medication to eliminate headaches every day for longer than 3 months. MOH is a major health problem with more frequent occurrence in women compared to men. The risk factor is the daily use of drugs to eliminate primary headache disorders, with addiction occurring more often in people who overuse opioids and triptans. Methods for diagnosing MOH are medical history, course of headache disorder, history of medication use, and frequency of medication use along with a headache diary.Treatment is most effective through pharmacological therapy with the use of behavioral methods. A large percentage of comorbidities are of a psychiatric nature. Somatic complications arise due to the side effects of excessive drug use. The occurrence of MOH can be prevented through adequate education and appropriate monitoring of patients.
