Botox for Migraines: What You Should Know

Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is FDA-approved for the treatment of chronic migraines — defined as headaches occurring 15 or more days per month, each lasting 4 hours or more.

💉 Botox How It Works:

Botox blocks the release of certain chemicals involved in pain transmission. When injected into specific muscle areas around the head and neck, it reduces the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks over time.

📍 Botox Injection Areas:

Typical sites include:

• Forehead

• Temples

• Back of the head

• Neck

• Shoulders

⏱️ Treatment Schedule:

• Injections are typically given every 12 weeks.

• Most patients need 2–3 sessions to start noticing significant relief.

✅ Benefits:

• Fewer headache days per month

• Reduced severity of migraines

• Improved quality of life

⚠️ Considerations:

• Best for chronic migraines, not occasional headaches

• Must be administered by a trained professional

• Some minor side effects like neck pain or temporary muscle weakness can occur
