Introduction
-
Botox injections have been approved by the FDA for the prevention of chronic migraines in adults.
-
Chronic migraines are defined as headaches occurring on 15 or more days per month, with each headache lasting four hours or more.
-
Botox, or onabotulinumtoxinA, is injected into specific muscles around the head and neck, typically every 12 weeks.
-
It's believed to work by blocking the release of certain chemicals involved in transmitting pain signals.
​
it's important to note that Botox treatment for chronic migraines isn't suitable for everyone, and it's typically considered after other preventive measures have failed. Additionally, individual responses to treatment can vary, and it may take multiple sessions before experiencing significant relief.
