Abstract

Abusive headache (drug-induced) develops as a result of excessive intake of analgesics, triptans, ergotamine derivatives for the treatment of headache attacks. The most effective methods of treatment are the discontinuation of the «guilty» drugs, as well as the combination of pharmacotherapy with non-pharmacological methods, including behavioral therapy. In the clinic of the 12th consultative and diagnostic center of the Ministry of Defense, 28 patients with drug-induced headaches were treated. Including 12 received detoxification therapy in the conditions of the hospital department of the polyclinic (day hospital). We have established the dependence of the subjective characteristics of sleep on the intensity of the pain syndrome. The advantages of combining detoxification therapy with preventive treatment during the period of withdrawal of the «guilty drug» were revealed.
