In view of this well-established data, it was quite surprising to me to see the results of the 2 polls cited. It seems as if we still have a lot of educating to do regarding migraine prevention in general and with medication overuse in migraine in particular.

Dr. Tepper did not have time to comment, but suggested we show you an abstract presented at the recent AHS meeting. It shows that erenumab-aaoe helps patients with MOH who have not been detoxified ( Headache. 2018;58(S2):160-162).
