Abstract

Chronic migraine (CM) is one of the most disabling neurological diseases, often associated to medication overuse headache (MOH). These patients make high use of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, and experience high work-related indirect costs. The aim of this study was to address and compare the main driver of cost associated to CM-MOH and EM, and to evaluate the effect of improvement in migraine profile on disease cost.
