Treatment of migraine with botulinum toxin

Migraine treatment with Botox – what is migraine?

Migraine is a term used to describe severe headaches, the length of which can reach up to several hours. This ailment is often accompanied by vomiting, nausea, or hypersensitivity to noise or smells and a feeling of helplessness. Untreated migraine significantly limits the ability to function properly and can exclude a person from everyday life for a long time. When migraine becomes chronic, it is necessary to regularly use pharmacological treatment, which in turn can negatively affect the entire body. It also happens that the body stops responding to even the maximum doses of painkillers. In situations where migraine pains are constantly recurring and nothing can relieve the pain, it is necessary to reach for other methods, such as botox for migraines.

Migraine is a chronic condition that currently affects more than 15% of people worldwide. Migraine is often identified with hypochondria, but it is a troublesome ailment that only those who have experienced it are aware of. In Poland, nearly 20% of people struggle with the problem of migraine. Treatment of migraine with botulinum toxin allows you to free yourself from the problem.

Treatment of migraine with Botox – what does it involve?

The use of Botox to treat migraines is a relatively innovative solution that was born out of the need to relieve pain when painkillers were no longer enough. Opinions about migraine treatment with Botox are becoming more and more favorable and an increasing number of people praise this solution. All this makes botox for migraines more and more popular. The procedure itself at Kierach Medical Clinic consists of several stages. At the beginning, it is necessary to determine exactly which parts of the head muscles are pressing and whether they are crushing the nerves that provoke migraine attacks. Then, botulinum toxin is injected by our qualified specialist into predetermined muscle parts. Most often, several dozen injections are performed in the forehead, temple, neck and occiput area, although the exact number depends on individual characteristics and also affects the price of botox for migraines. As a result of the application, these muscles are blocked and relaxed. Treatment of migraine with botulinum toxin provides long-lasting effects, but it is not a method that will permanently get rid of the problem.

Botox for migraines – the course of the procedure

The migraine treatment procedure with botox at Kierach Medical Clinic takes only a few minutes and does not require any special prior preparation. It is a safe method that does not provoke the need for later convalescence. Immediately after the procedure, you can resume your daily activities. The scope of injections itself mainly depends on the location of the pain, although it may be necessary to expand the area to other parts.

Among the only restrictions on botox for migraines is the prohibition of drinking alcohol before and after the procedure and performing strenuous (or any, depending on the circumstances) physical exercise. It is worth noting that a properly selected dose does not impair the mobility of any of the main muscle groups. Other muscles, apart from those responsible for migraine, will not be immobilized and their free movement will not be hindered in any way. The first administration of botulinum toxin can significantly reduce the risk of migraines, although full results can only be obtained after several series of injections.
