TLDR
Although the treatment regimen for MOH patients is straightforward and the outcomes are favorable, it is time to move forward and establish a predictive model for early recognition of patients at high risk, to intervene early and avoid development of chronic headache.

Current practice and future directions in the prevention and acute management of migraine

Clinical features, pathophysiology, and treatment of medication-overuse headache

TL;DR: The International Headache Classification Committee has worked out the more inclusive criteria for CM and MOH and it is now recommended that the MOH diagnosis should no longer request improvement after discontinuation of medication overuse but should be given to patients if they have a primary headache plus ongoing medication over use.
