Chronic daily headache (CDH) remains a relatively unexplored entity in India. Misconceptions are common, unnecessary investigations often done and inappropriate therapy prescribed. Analgesic overuse is seldom recognized. The present report appears to be the first of its kind from India. CDH has been defined as headaches occurring more than 15 days per month for more than 3 months (secondary causes excluded). Over 2 years (1998-1999) 849 cases (49.6% of all primary headaches) were seen. More than 1 year's follow-up data were available in 205 subjects (M 34; F 171). The distribution of these was as follows: (i), chronic tension-type headache (CTH), 33 (16.1%); (ii), chronic/transformed migraine (TM), 169 (82.4%); (iii), new persistent CDH, 3 (1.5%). There were 169 cases of TM (M : F 1 : 4.7; age 26-58 years). History of past episodic migraine was present in all. Transformation had been gradual (89.4%) or acute (10.6%). Possible factors in transformation included psychological stress (44.4%), analgesic overuse (28.4%), ergot overuse (4.1%). HRT seemed to be implicated in three female subjects. Analgesic overuse was limited between intake of 600 and 2400 mg of aspirin equivalent per day (mean 735 mg). Ergot overuse varied between 1 and 3 mg/day of ergotamine for > or = 3 days/week. With medical therapy approximately 70% TM and 40% CTH patients noted significant improvement. About 80% of these relapsed on therapy withdrawal. CDH in India is not uncommon. Analgesic/ergot overuse needs to be recognized early. The average dose of analgesic implicated in CDH seems much less compared with that reported in the West.
