Evaluation of Risk Factors in Patients With Chronic Daily Headache and Medication‐Overuse Headache
In the TTH group, BMI was found to be statistically significantly higher compared to the migraine group. Similarly, in the TTH-MOH group, BMI was higher than in the MOH-M group. This finding suggests that the relationship between TTH and obesity warrants further attention. Our study also showed that patients with TTH-MOH experience greater difficulties in daily life and work compared to those in the MOH-M group. Additionally, TTH-MOH patients are more likely to attribute the cause of their current headaches to psychogenic factors, in comparison to MOH-M patients. Findings suggest that psychosocial factors have a greater influence on the chronicity of the disease and the emergence of medication overuse in the TTH group compared to the migraine group.
