Numerous scientific studies have shown that BOTOX (botulinum toxin A) benefits headache sufferers. This was discovered coincidentally among patients receiving BOTOX for cosmetic purposes. In addition to reducing forehead wrinkles, BOTOX was also preventing headaches in some patients with frequent headaches! Since then, research in BOTOX for the treatment of headaches has advanced considerably.

There are now standard treatment protocols depending on the type of headache – migraine or tension. Injection sites differ depending on the type of headache and the location of pain. Commonly 25 or more units are injected in a session. Not every patient will benefit from this treatment; however, for some patients who are dissatisfied with other treatments or medications, due to side effects, difficulty of compliance or for other reasons, BOTOX may be a great alternative.

Although BOTOX treatment is safe and effective for migraine and tension headaches, it is not a substitute for medical evaluation of your headaches by your personal doctor. We advise that you consult with your physician to rule out any more serious causes of your headaches.
