Treatment of migraine with botulinum toxin

Migraine treatment with botulinum toxin is an innovative method of reducing the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. The treatment involves the precise injection of small doses of the toxin into selected muscle points in the head and neck, resulting in their relaxation and a reduction in the activity of the nerves responsible for the pain. It is an FDA-approved therapy that is particularly effective for chronic migraines (more than 15 days with headache per month).

Duration: 15-30 minutes.

Preparation: Medical history and skin cleansing.

Course: Botulinum toxin injection at 31-39 points on the forehead, temples, occiput, neck, and neck; minimal discomfort.

Results: Migraine reduction after 7-14 days; effect lasts 3-6 months.

Recovery: Return to daily activities immediately, and avoidance of exertion for 24 hours.
