That's right...Botox to treat migraines!
Studies have shown that more than 80 percent of patients who have been treated with Botox for painful migraines experienced immediate relief. Botox has helped decrease the severity and frequency of migraines.
The research has shown that those treated in various sites received the most rapid and dramatic relief. These areas include: the brows, forehead, side of eyes, side and back of the neck.
Doctors believe that the mechanism of how Botox works for migraines is that it interrupts the nerve pain signals, and relaxes the muscles which cause tension. The results and benefits can last up to six months!
Though more studies and research are being done, the evidence is out there! Could this be covered by medical insurance??? It is unlikely at this time, but with continuous studies of its effectiveness on migraines, it could be very likely in the near future.

Botulinum toxin is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, and is extremely neurotoxic. According to Plastic Surgery Phoenix, OnabotulinumtoxinA (trade name Botox) received FDA approval for treatment of chronic migraines on October 15, 2010, although it is ineffective for the treatment of episodic migraines. The toxin is injected into the head and neck to treat these chronic headaches. Approval followed evidence presented to the agency from two studies funded by Botox maker Allergan, Inc. showing a very slight improvement in incidence of chronic migraines for migraine sufferers undergoing the Botox treatment.
