Botox® against migraine/headache
Tension headaches and migraines are both very common. There are indications that these types of headaches happen because of increased tension in the certain muscles of forehead.
Botox® is a kind of remedy that, in addition to its popular effect on wrinkles, also is very effective in several other medical conditions which happen as a cause of increased muscle tension. Experience shows that a large number of patients suffering from migraines or other headaches benefits from effects of Botox®.
The idea is that the relaxation of the forehead muscle will give less tension in the neck and shoulder muscles which will reduce the migraine symptoms in intensity. The patients will feel a clear relief of the symptoms such as reduction of the number of headache episodes and decreasing of the duration and intensity per episode.
In general, one treatment of the frown and/or forehead muscles is sufficient to achieve clear improvement of the symptoms. A number of injections in this area will give long-term muscle relaxation and therefore decreasing of symptoms.
