Botox for Migraines - Does It Work?

I'm sorry to hear you've been
suffering so long. As a migraine specialist, I have done significant research
into this field. BOTOX injections can provide relief for many migraine
sufferers because they disable the trigger muscles that contribute to the
headache. The only way to find out if there is a muscle component to your
headaches is to consult with a doctor who offers BOTOX for migraine treatment.
If it works for you, you may opt for a simple surgical procedure that provides the
same results as the BOTOX injections, but permanently. Although many people who
have migraines experience triggers from these certain muscles, some people have
other triggers and therefore aren't good candidates for BOTOX or the surgical
treatment. See a migraine specialist for an evaluation to determine whether you
are a candidate. You don't have to suffer anymore!

Botox injections use very fine guage needles so not very painful, certainly not afterwared. The average costs depends on the number of units injected and the area. Most of our patients find it both affordable and helpful for migraine headaches though not all patients benefit from them. But for those patients lucky enough to have a response - it can greatly improve your life.

Botox has been used successfully in patients with migraine headaches and tension headaches. I use this therapeutic modality frequently with success. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACS
