[Unable to Work Due to Migraine for Which Tryptan is Taken 14 Times a Month or Less: Medication-Overuse Headache (MOH)].

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.
