Association between awareness and knowledge of medication-overuse headache with medication-taking behavior among adults with migraine.

Frequent use of pain relief medications among patients with migraine can result in disease worsening and medication-overuse headache (MOH), a painful and debilitating condition. We sought to conduct a cross-sectional survey among adult patients diagnosed with migraine to determine: 1) their awareness of MOH, and 2) their knowledge of the condition and its prevention, and 3) the association of these factors with actual use of pain relief medications. We recruited and interviewed 200 English-speaking adults with migraine who had a clinic visit with a neurologist or primary care provider within the past month.

Delayed opportunities for patient-provider communication about medication overuse headache: Mixed methods perspectives from patients and neurologists.

Objectives: Medication overuse headache (MOH) is a common, debilitating condition occurring when migraine patients overuse pain relief medications. We conducted a convergent mixed methods study examining patient-provider communication on MOH.

Methods: Migraine patients were identified from one academic health center via electronic health records.

Determinants of Bluetooth-Enabled Self-Measured Blood Pressure Monitoring in Federally Qualified Health Centers.

Background: In 2021, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) launched the National Hypertension Control Initiative (HTN Initiative) with the goal to enhance HTN control through Bluetooth-enabled self-measured blood pressure (BT-SMBP) monitoring and use this data to inform clinical decisions in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) with a large proportion of their population with uncontrolled blood pressure (BP). We sought to understand the experience of Michigan-based FQHCs in implementing the HTN initiative.

Methods: Staff from three Michigan-based FQHCs were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews from September to November 2022.
