Migraine Treatment with Botox

Migraine is a common disease nowadays. It is a disease with significant difficulties in its treatment.

In a study conducted in January 2021, 72 patients were included in the study. These patients were injected with 3 to 5 units of botox toxin per person per injection site. In this study, it was investigated whether there was a decrease in the duration, frequency and intensity of migraine attacks. The goal of the study is to reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches so that pain-free periods last longer.

Botox toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine from the presynaptic neuromuscular terminal. It relieves muscle spasms and regulates pain neurotransmission via the afferent pathways and peripheral nociceptive system. Thus, an analgesic effect occurs.

Where to injection Botox ?

Botox toxin was injected into the glabellar region, temporal region, frontal region, trapezius, occipitalis and back of the neck muscles.

It is important to consult with your healthcare professional for the right amount to apply to the right areas. Although possible complications are low in professional hands, the risk of complications increases in applications that we can call under the stairs.
