Management of refractory headache, particularly medication-overuse headache (MOH), is often difficult. In the management of MOH, it is important to determine the underlying primary headaches. Therefore, history taking and medical examinations are crucial for the diagnosis of headache type. Patient education and appropriate preventive therapy are beneficial in ameliorating MOH. As migraine is an underlying primary headache, the use of calcitonin gene-related peptide antibodies should be considered.
