Nonetheless, no research has examined the relationship of the impact of body image on medicationoveruse headache (MOH) patients suffering also with persistent depressive disorder (PPD). Moreover, the role of body image is stressed in trials concerning mirror therapy [3,4]. Aim We propose that body image improvement can influence both pain perception and PPD in MOH sufferers.
