Behavioural intervention: a double blind RCT
Our unique large concealed double-blind randomized controlled trial study suggests benefit of implementation of a behavioral intervention for withdrawal therapy in medication overuse headache (MOH) with reduced use of headache medication in the period after withdrawal. Future studies may aim at investigating long-term behavioral intervention which can be provided by a trained nurse. The principles of a concealed study design can also be useful in the research field of behavioral interventions in other central nerve system disorders.

We thank all patients for their time and effort. We thank Mrs. J. Trouerbach- Kraan, headache nurse, for supporting patients during withdrawal.
