Reduces the frequency and severity of chronic migraines and tension headaches.
If you have been diagnosed with migraine and get migraine headaches often, you may wonder if there's anything you can do to prevent them. OnabotulinumtoxinA, or Botox, was approved in 2010 for adults who get chronic migraines. That means you have both: A history of migraine headaches and Headaches (including tension-type) on most days (15 or more) of the month that last 4 hours a day or longer. Shots of Botox cut down the total number of days they had them or even other types of headaches. They also had more "crystal-clear" -- pain-free -- days each month, and they reported fewer days off work.
At Move Medicine, we offer specialized migraine Botox injections to help individuals suffering from chronic migraines find relief. If migraines are impacting your daily life, this FDA-approved treatment may reduce the frequency and severity of your headaches, allowing you to regain control and improve your quality of life.
Botox (OnabotulinumtoxinA) is a proven treatment for adults who experience chronic migraines—defined as having headaches for 15 or more days each month, with each headache lasting at least four hours. Botox injections work by relaxing the muscles around your head and neck, reducing the intensity and occurrence of migraines.
Unlike cosmetic Botox treatments that target facial wrinkles, Botox for migraines works by blocking the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission. This helps prevent the activation of pain networks in the brain and reduces the number of migraine days you experience each month. The treatment is administered through a series of injections into specific points around the head and neck, targeting areas that are commonly involved in migraine pain.
Migraine Botox injections are specifically designed for individuals who suffer from chronic migraines. You may be a good candidate for this treatment if you:
• Experience migraines on 15 or more days per month.
• Have not found relief through other migraine treatments, such as medication.
• Want to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine whether Botox is an appropriate treatment option for you.
The Botox treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes. During the procedure:
• A series of small injections will be administered to areas around your forehead, temples, neck, and shoulders.
• The number of injections may vary depending on your specific condition, but generally, around 31 injections are made in seven key muscle areas.
• The procedure involves little discomfort and does not require anesthesia, though some patients may experience mild stinging at the injection site.
Most patients experience results within a few weeks, with the effects of the treatment lasting about 3 to 4 months. For continued relief, Botox injections are typically repeated every 12 weeks.
• Reduces Frequency and Severity of Migraines: Clinical studies show that Botox can significantly reduce the number of migraine days experienced each month.
• Improves Quality of Life: Fewer migraines mean fewer days lost to pain, allowing you to return to your daily activities and enjoy life more fully.
• Non-Pharmaceutical Solution: Botox offers an alternative to daily migraine medications, which may not be effective for everyone.
• Quick, Outpatient Procedure: Botox injections are minimally invasive and can be done quickly with minimal downtime.
After receiving Botox injections for migraines, most patients notice a gradual reduction in the number and intensity of headaches. It typically takes a few days to two weeks to start feeling the effects. It’s important to continue tracking your migraines during this time, as your healthcare provider will use this information to plan future treatments.
