“…Information regarding adherence rates for participants remaining in the study over time were also gathered and indicated that 95% (72/76) and 92% (54/59) of the remaining participants remained adherent at the 10‐month and 16‐month follow ups, respectively . Heckman and Ellis examined adherence to preventative medication in adults with migraine across racial groups based on self‐reported headache diary data and documented that 69% of African American patients and 82% of Caucasian patients were adherent to preventative medication . The observed difference in adherence rates, however, was not statistically significant.…”

“…The observed difference in adherence rates, however, was not statistically significant. Interestingly for the combined sample (Caucasian and African Americans), adherence rates lower than 80% were associated with major depressive disorder and lower levels of headache management self‐efficacy; however, no demographic variables significantly predicted adherence . Finally, Rothrock and colleagues utilized headache diary report to examine the adherence rates of migraineurs to preventative and acute headache medications following “headache school” to the adherence rates of migraineurs who did not receive “headache school.” Ninety‐six percent of participants receiving additional education on migraine symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention were classified as adherent, while 58% of participants not receiving patient education were classified as adherent to their preventative medication …”

Treatment Adherence in Patients With Headache: A Systematic Review

Objective To review and critically evaluate the extant research literature pertaining to adherence in youth and adults with headache and to provide recommendations for future research. Background This article provides the first systematic review of pediatric headache adherence and updates a previous review of treatment adherence in adults with headache. Design Systematic review of empirical literature. Methods A literature search with no date restriction was conducted using PubMed and PsycINFO electronic databases and bibliographies of relevant articles. Results Adherence rates in adults with headache range considerably from 25% to 94% across treatment, assessment method, and definition of adherence utilized. Methods to assess adherence included retrospective prescription claims data, paper or electronic diaries, follow-up appointment attendance, written and verbal self-report of general adherence, verbal self-report of adherence over a specific amount of time via in person interview or telephone, validated adherence measures, adherence questionnaires without validation, and counselor ratings of homework. Each methodology and assessment tool demonstrated strengths and weaknesses. No studies have systematically examined medication adherence in children with headache, and the few available studies examining adherence to behavioral treatment have documented adherence rates ranging from 52% to 86%. Conclusions Adherence research in adults with headache is growing, but studies demonstrate a number of methodological shortcomings. Adherence research in children with headache, and adherence intervention research in both adults and children, is scant. Future research should use objective measures of adherence, consider over-the-counter medications and medication overuse, examine demographic, psychological, and behavioral correlates of adherence, assess adherence to botulinum toxin type A, and examine the efficacy of adherence interventions in individuals with headache.

“…Observational Studies: Adherence Of the 6 observational studies that examined migraine prophylaxis adherence, 1 used electronic MEMS to assess adherence, 12 while 3 reported outcomes based on self-report, [16][17][18] and 2 used retrospective claims analysis to calculate MPR. 19,20 Five of the 6 studies were conducted in the United States, with time horizons ranging from 4 to 56 weeks.…”

“…Ramsey et al published a systematic review that showed overall compliance to treatment, including those considered nonpharmacological, ranged from 25 to 95%, but there is little demographic information that addresses or explains these differences . One study showed no significant difference in medication compliance between African American and Caucasian patients with migraine . However, African Americans and young patients were less likely to return for follow‐up appointments.…”
