A team of researchers led by University Hospitals Connor Whole Health have identified an association between spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) and a reduced likelihood of butalbital prescription and medication overuse headache (MOH) for patients experiencing tension-type headaches (TTH).
University Hospital s Cleveland Medical CenterDec 3 2024 A team of researchers led by University Hospital s Connor Whole Health have identified an association between spinal manipulative therapy and a reduced likelihood of butalbital prescription and medication overuse headache for patients experiencing tension-type headaches . Their retrospective study, published in Health Science Reports, includes more than 6,200 patients from a national US database spanning 2013 to 2024.
The study compared two cohorts: those who received SMT and matched controls who did not receive SMT. Findings revealed that only 1.7% of SMT patients were prescribed butalbital within two years of follow-up, compared to 3.8% in the non-SMT cohort. Additionally, patients receiving SMT were less likely to develop MOH .
