Abstract: The article addresses concerns regarding the classification of comparator groups in two randomized trials related to behavioral interventions for migraine prevention. The authors clarify their methodology, explaining that they categorized certain education-based interventions as "active comparators" based on a consistent, content-based definition of behavioral interventions. They emphasize that this classification was necessary for accurately synthesizing data in their systematic review and meta-analysis, which aimed to compare behavioral interventions effectively. The authors acknowledge the rigorous nature of the studies in question while maintaining their stance on the categorization for the purposes of their research. [Extracted from the article]
