Case Study 235 | Rebound headaches (medication overuse headaches) | Explained by Dr. Betsy Grunch
Description: Case Study 235 | Rebound headaches (medication overuse headaches)
Rebound headaches (medication overuse headaches) can happen when headache medications are used too frequently - ironically causing headaches to become more frequent or even constant. One condition they can overlap with is New Daily Persistent Headache (NDPH), where patients can often tell you the exact day their headache started and it simply never goes away.
Quick Facts:
• Medication overuse headaches commonly occur with frequent use of triptans, combination pain relievers, or analgesics.
• NDPH often begins suddenly and becomes a daily headache from day one.
• Brain imaging is usually normal in both conditions.
• Early recognition is key because treatment approaches are different.
Not every daily headache is a migraine and sometimes the treatment itself becomes part of the problem.
