A recent, double-blind, randomized study reported that
treatment of patients with botulinum toxin Type A (BTX-A) markedly
reduced symptoms of migraine. To know more about "botox for migraines
study by mathew" the How
To Deal With Migraine Headache?
Botox for
migraines study by Mathew describes the effect of pericranial injections
of BTX-A on migraine in three patients who presented primarily for
cosmetic treatment of frown lines. All patients were treated with a
total dose of 36 u of BTX-A (Botox, Allergan) injected into nine sites.
Muscles injected were procerus, corrugator supercilii, frontalis and
temporalis. Patients were asked to keep a migraine diary for three
months and were asked to rate their level of satisfaction with BTX-A as
a preventive treatment for migraine. Encouraging clinical evidence,
mainly in the form of case studies, regarding the efficacy of BTX-A in
migraine prevention is accumulating.
Researchers might have found
a link between migraine headaches and tension headache and the two seem
to exacerbate each other. Migraine headache relief has found an option
in botox. Hypertension headache, cluster headache and migraine symptoms
can be treated with this new medication. It seems that headache medicine
has climbed another rung in combating severe headache.
