With a worldwide high disease burden, medication overuse headache (MOH) is an endemic and disabling neurological disorder.

This review will discuss the following concepts; (1) recent progress in association between medication overuse (MO) and MOH; (2) the burden, risk factors and comorbidities of MOH; (3) evidence of treatment in patients with MOH.
