| Abstract: |
The article expresses concerns regarding the classification of control groups in a systematic review and meta-analysis on behavioral interventions for migraine prevention. The authors argue that their control groups were designed as attention control groups, not as active interventions, and that their studies were miscategorized as comparative effectiveness trials instead of efficacy studies. They emphasize that this misclassification led to the exclusion of their significant research from the meta-analysis, potentially impacting future guidelines and research directions. The authors request a reanalysis that includes their studies to provide a more accurate representation of the findings. [Extracted from the article] |
