Evaluation of Risk Factors in Patients With Chronic Daily Headache and Medication-Overuse Headache.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe aim of this study is to compare the quality of life, daily physical activity level and perception of illness in patients with chronic daily headache, medication-overuse headache, episodic migraine, and episodic tension-type headache across disease subgroups with respect to possible risk factors such as alcohol/caffeine/nicotine use, eating attitude, which may trigger chronic headache and medication overuse. MATERIALS AND
methodsVAS, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (Short) forms, SF-36 Quality of Life Scale, Illness Perception Questionnaire, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire, Eating Attitude Test, SCID-I were applied to the patients.
resultsDisease type mean score and psychological causes mean score were found to be the highest in the chronic tension type headache (CTTH) group among tension type headache (TTH) subgroups. Among the subgroups of migraine patients, the mean score of risk-related causes was found to be the highest in chronic migraine with medication overuse (MOH-M). The mean score of psychological causes was found to be significantly higher in patients with CTTH with medication overuse (TTH-MOH) compared to patients with MOH-M. Worsening of body pain was significant in CDH-M and MOH-M, whereas worsening in physical role difficulty, emotional well-being, general health perception was significant in CTTH and TTH-MOH.
conclusionsIn 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.
