Migraine Botox

The effects of Botox on migraines were not known until recently. This treatment was accidentally discovered when patients receiving Botox injections for the correction of wrinkles in the facial area noticed an improvement in their migraine attacks following the injections. The underlying cause of a significant portion of migraine pain is the tension in the muscles of the head region. If the tension in the muscles causing migraines is eliminated by relaxing the muscles, the factors causing migraine pain are also eliminated. Many pain-relieving medications are used in migraine treatment. However, the biggest advantage of Botox is not just alleviating pain but also preventing the occurrence of pain. Around 80-90% of migraine patients benefit from Botox. The effect of Botox in migraine treatment lasts for approximately 4 months. After a Botox application, its effect starts within 7-10 days, and you experience a pain-free period for 4 months. When its effect starts to fade at the end of the 4th month, a new application is necessary.
