Migraine is a type of pain that causes great problems in people's social life. Migraine pain, which usually affects a part of the head, is throbbing, narrows your visual field and creates sensitivity to light and sound, has a great negative effect on people. Migraine patients have difficulties in their social and working lives. In advanced cases, patients need psychiatric support. Botulinum toxin, namely botox, has been an application that has been frequently used and resolved in the treatment of migraine in recent years.
In order to achieve realistic results in the treatment of migraine with Botox, it is important to do it regularly. Inflammatory pain is prevented by botox blocking the communication of neurotransmitters in nerve endings.
If there is no other underlying neurological cause, the quality of life of the person increases as the botox applied to the forehead, temples, neck and neck is done regularly at 3-4 months intervals. It is not possible to say that Botox is the definitive solution for migraine. However, it is a very relaxing and distinctive method for people whose lives have begun to take shape according to migraine attacks.
With the acceptance of botox as a treatment for migraine in the USA, England and finally in our country, this use has increased even more.
The use of botox in chronic migraine pain is an application approved by the FDA.
Botox relaxes the muscles and reduces the sensitivity to pain by blocking the nerve that transmits the pain message to the brain. Approximately 70% of the patients who underwent migraine botox stated that the number of migraine days decreased by more than 50% compared to the pre-treatment period.
Migraine botox is applied in a specific dose to 7 critical points in the head and neck in a period of 15-30 minutes, it starts to show its effect within a few days and has a preventive effect against migraine-related headaches for 12 weeks.
Botox is a preventive treatment against migraine headaches and it is recommended to be repeated every 3 months.
As with all other botox applications, it should not be applied to people who are allergic to botox content and to pregnant women.
