Botox for Migraine
Botox might be very popular for its benefits in treating facial wrinkles and fine lines. However, there’s more to it than the cosmetic application. Botox use has now been extended to treating chronic migraines.
Chronic migraine is a medical condition in which an individual experiences severe headaches of a throbbing and pulsing nature, usually more than fourteen days in one month.
Migraine is mainly caused by the release of serotonin, a neurochemical that induces the constriction of blood vessels. While Botox® may not have a direct effect on this, it certainly is beneficial in reducing the pain in patients who suffer from migraines. It possibly achieves this by blocking the transmission of pain signals by nerves and relaxing the scalp muscles.
To treat chronic migraines, qualified medical specialists administer multiple botulinum toxin injections into seven specific sites at the head and neck at intervals of about 12 weeks.
