Most simply stated, chronic daily headache (CDH) is headache, not Migraine, that occurs 15 or more days a month. Doctors divide chronic daily headache into a number of subcategories:
Additionally, each of those types is typically subdivided into two groups, with and without medication overuse as it has been found that rebound headaches, aka medication overuse headaches, often contribute to headache or Migraine becoming chronic. Interestingly, studies have shown that medication overuse is less common patients who are treated by headache and Migraine specialists. Studies have also shown that CDH patients were more likely to snore and report problems with sleep than episodic headache and Migraine patients. Studies of the populations of the U.S. and Europe have shown that 4-5% of the population have daily or nearly daily headaches or Migraines. See these related articles:
