Summary and comments:

The results of this study represent good news for the majority of adolescents with chronic daily headache. Over the eight-year period, nearly 88% of the participants went from chronic headache to episodic headache. Of those who still fit the criteria for CDH, it's of significant note that 75% of them had Migraines. This demonstrates again that there is a significant difference between the long-term impact of Migraine as opposed to other headache disorders.
