Botox® is commonly used for wrinkle reduction as a
cosmetic treatments. Botox® is injected into the areas of the face where wrinkles, fine lines and frown lines appear in order to smoothen underlying muscles that cause the wrinkles. What you may not know, however, is that Botox® is also approved for and widely used for purely medical purposes to control muscle spasms and treat certain neurological disorders.
Amazingly, Botox® injections can also treat certain types of
migraine headaches. The fact that Botox® is used to alleviate the side effects associated with migraines was discovered by accident when patients treated for cosmetic reasons reported improvements in their migraine headaches following their Botox® treatments. Since then medical studies were arranged to test the effects of Botox® injections on patients suffering from Chronic Daily Headaches. In some cases Botox® therapeutic patients experienced relief of their migraine headaches for up to six months following their treatment!
In many cases the use of Botox® therapeutic treatment for migraines is preferred over traditional migraine medication because effects of a single injection can last for up to six months thereby eliminating the need and expense of other drugs and any side effects associated with traditional migraine medication.
An increasing number of dermatologists and neurologists have been using Botox® for treating migraines. Botox® for treatment of migraines may be covered by extended insurance and benefit plans.
