Migraine Headache Therapy

Migraine Treatment With Botox

Also known as onabotulinumtoxinA, is an FDA-approved therapeutic option for individuals suffering from chronic migraines. Typically used when other conventional treatments have proven ineffective or caused undesirable side effects, Botox injections are administered approximately every 12 weeks. The procedure involves injecting Botox into specific muscles of the head and neck, targeting trigger points that are believed to contribute to migraine episodes. Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, thereby reducing muscle tension and lessening the frequency and severity of migraines. The treatment does not eliminate migraines entirely but aims to minimize their occurrence and intensity. A course of several treatments is usually recommended for optimal results.
