Botox For Migraine Headache Pain

You may already know the wonderful benefits of Botox injections, which include reducing and/or eliminating fine lines and wrinkles, but did you know that Botox injections can alleviate migraine and headache pain as well?

 
Numerous studies have shown that Botox injections can help those suffering from tension and migraine headaches even when traditional medications have not worked. In fact, one study presented at the 2003 annual American Headache Society’s meeting showed that repeated Botox injections reduced the frequency and intensity of migraines in 80% of the patients.

 
Experts believe that Botox injections fight migraines in two ways. First, Botox interrupts the nerve transmission of pain signals as they are being sent to the brain. Secondly, Botox stops the muscle contractions that can result in tension headaches.

 
For headache relief, Botox is injected into various locations, such as the brow, near the neck, and into the muscles on the forehead. The effects of Botox injections for headache pain can last up to five months. However, Botox is not a permanent solution to migraine and headache pain; a patient must return for treatments on a regular interval in order to continue to experience pain relief.
