| PubMedID- 23091529 | In a study of the incidence of headaches in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who took analgesics regularly for their musculoskeletal pain, the frequent use of analgesics led to the development of chronic daily headaches in most patients.21 furthermore, headaches were significantly reduced when analgesics were discontinued among chronic headache patients who overused analgesics.22,23 it has also been reported that genetic factors could influence the pattern of analgesic usage without affecting the headache characteristics.24 in the present study, several points support a causal aspect of medication overuse for increased pain intensity, including 1) the inclusion of only patients with cm who already had a large number of headache attacks and 2) that the headache frequency, which could be a major factor in the decision to take medication, nausea/vomiting, and phonophobia/photophobia did not differ between the groups. |
