In 2024 the American Migraine Foundation stated that at least 39 million people in the United States suffer from migraines. For many, relief isn’t easy to come by with medications working too slowly, missing the window of time they’re supposed to take the medication or even with the medications just not working at all. Those suffering with chronic migraines understand that when a migraine strikes that may mean an entire day of feeling ill, or having to take a sick day from work or just having to power through unbelievable pain.
For years migraines have been studied to find the root of the causes of chronic migraine and of course how to most effectively treat those While there have been significant advances in how we understand migraines and how we treat them we have not been able to ever eradicate them fully however a relatively new treatment may just be what some who suffer are missing.
Botox (and other neurotoxins) has been found to be successful in lowering a patient’s migraine days. Botox for chronic migraine has become a lifesaver for many. The science is that Botox works by blocking the release of certain chemicals that are understood to deliver pain messages to the brain. When Botox is injected into a targeted area (i.e forehead, temples, neck ect) it relaxes the muscles that contribute to migraines. What’s truly great about the treatment is Botox doesn’t mask the pain of a migraine for a temporary period; it has been studied to lower migraine days and the intensity of migraines over time.
If you or a loved one suffer from chronic migraines and are not finding traditional medications or treatments to be working talk to your doctor about Botox.
