Is dysport use for migraine?

Dysport is not approved by the FDA for migraines which means that it will not be covered by insurance or any other type of reimbursement generally.  Dysport can be effective the same as Botox is; however, these treatments would be cash related and considered off-label use.

Hello Manuel. Currently, Dysport is not FDA-approved for the treatment of migraines which means that it will not be covered by your insurance.  Botox is approved for some types of headaches and is an alternative with similar side effects.  Dysport works as well as Botox is, but you need to pay out of pocket cash for the services and the treatment is considered off-label.

Botox is currently the only neuromodulator FDA approved to treat migraines, but that being said, Dysport and Xeomin can also both be used off-label to help with chronic migraines. I recommend visiting a board-certified dermatologist with experience using neuromodulators to treat chronic migraines for an in-person evaluation and discussion of medical history to see if you could be a good candidate for this treatment.
