Can any doc tell me what's the cause of chronic headache?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MOH: A chronic headache usually caused by the frequent and excessive use of medications to provide immediate relief of headache symptoms is termed medication overuse headache. Moh, which results from the repetitive and chronic use of headache abortive medications for three months or more, is a major cause of chronic headache affecting 1-2% of the general population.
