Headaches and Medication Overuse
Manage episode 373186268 series 3310421
If you have chronic daily headaches, then this podcast episode is for you. In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explores the role that medication plays in dealing with headaches and migraines. In a "Migraine in America Symptoms Study" 35% of patients with a migraine diagnosis say that their acute treatment is poor or very poor. The physicians who are prescribing these drugs claim that over half the time, patients are overusing their meds. Medicine is artificially blocking the pain signal... "masking the symptoms" instead of healing the source of the pain itself. While medication can be utilized to help control pain, it should be utilized in conjunction with something that is addressing the underlying problem.
