Migraine Botox
FDA-approved botulinum toxin treatment for chronic migraine prevention — blocking pain signals before they begin.
What Is Migraine Botox?
Migraine botox is an FDA-approved treatment that blocks nerve signals responsible for pain transmission. By injecting botulinum toxin into specific head and neck muscles, it prevents the activation of migraine triggers — reducing both frequency and severity.
How the Treatment Works
Botulinum toxin is injected at strategic trigger points across the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck, and shoulders. The medication enters nerve endings and blocks the release of neurotransmitters that carry pain signals to the brain.
Common Migraine Triggers
Understanding what triggers your migraines is crucial for effective management. Research from The Migraine Trust highlights several common factors:
Fatigue
Stress & bright sunlight
Changes in sleep patterns
Hormonal changes
Strong odours
Diet & alcohol
Oral contraceptives
Types of Migraines
Aura Migraine
Sensory and visual problems including difficulty speaking, seeing black spots/zigzags, and tingling numbness. Aura lasts 10–30 minutes.
