These benefits persisted during follow-up: headache days (standardized mean difference [SMD], −0.70; P <0.00001), intensity (SMD, −1.11; P =0.008), duration (SMD, −1.83; P =0.003), and analgesic use (SMD, −0.60; P =0.007) remained reduced; headache frequency showed a trend toward reduction (SMD, −0.47; P =0.05).
Evidence for headache frequency reduction at 3 months or less was marginally significant, with insufficient long-term data.
