Botox application is not only used for aesthetic purposes but is also an effective method in the treatment of migraines and certain neurological conditions. Especially for patients who suffer from chronic migraine attacks, it is a medically approved treatment option that improves quality of life.
Botox for Migraine Treatment
Chronic migraine is diagnosed in individuals who experience headaches for 15 or more days per month. Botulinum toxin injected into the muscles reduces the transmission at nerve endings responsible for pain, thus decreasing the severity and frequency of migraine attacks.
The procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes, and its effects last between 3 to 6 months.
Botox Use in Neurological Conditions
Botox is used not only for migraines but also for the treatment of several neurological disorders:
o Dystonia (muscle spasms)
o Hemifacial spasm (involuntary facial muscle contractions)
o Bruxism (teeth grinding and jaw clenching)
o Spasticity (muscle stiffness following stroke)
In these conditions, Botox helps reduce both pain and involuntary movements by preventing excessive muscle contractions.
