Association Between Spinal Manipulation, Butalbital Prescription, and Medication Overuse Headache in Adults With Tension‐Type Headache: Retrospective Cohort Study
Adults receiving chiropractic SMT had a significantly lower likelihood of butalbital prescription and, tentatively, MOH compared to matched controls not receiving SMT. These findings support current guideline recommendations favoring SMT in TTH care, though future studies should replicate and compare these findings with other nonpharmacologic clinicians and interventions.
