Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of non-pharmacological intervention such as patient educational programmes are of great importance, as this approach is common in the clinical practice. Medication-overuse headache (MOH) is a heterogenetic patient group, which must be taken into account when conducting RCTs of non-pharmacological interventions. An educational programme based on Motivational Interviewing is well-tolerated among MOH patients, however, no superior effects were found from adding the educational programme to standard treatment versus standard treatment alone.
