Botox for Migraine
Botox has been approved for treating chronic migraine since 2010 and can significantly reduce the number of headache days. Injections are administered at defined points on the head and neck, preventing the release of pain neurotransmitters. For many patients, this means a significant improvement in quality of life.
Treatment Areas
Applications
Botox blocks the release of neurotransmitters that transmit pain signals. Pain receptors at injection sites are desensitized, reducing the occurrence of migraine attacks.
Injections are administered at 31-39 defined points on the forehead, temples, back of head, neck, and shoulders. The protocol follows internationally recognized guidelines.
