  1. *P-value <0.001.
  2. aF-Statistics and P-values for between-category comparisons are from analysis of variance (ANOVA). The main effect in the ANOVA was ranked category of decrease in the clinical criterion measure (i.e., headache days or cumulative hours), where the type III sum of squares was used.
  3. bF-Statistics and P-values for between-category comparisons are from analysis of variance (ANOVA). The main effects in the ANOVA included ranked category of decrease in the clinical criterion measure (i.e., headache days or cumulative hours) and medication-overuse strata, where the type III sum of squares was used.
  4. HIT-6 = Headache Impact Test-6; SD = standard deviation; SRM = standardized response mean.
