Correlation between migraine and painkiller abuse
Migraine, considered one of the most debilitating diseases by the WHO, affects 15 to 20% of the Brazilian population and can be aggravated by excessive use of painkillers, transforming episodic attacks into chronic headaches. The case report of a 23-year-old patient, who did not obtain relief even after several attempts at treatment, highlights the importance of adequate and individualized management of the condition.
