Now Botox Can Treat Migraines Too

If you are a wrinkle cream person and hate botox, then wait. Botox is useful in other ways. Due to its property to block neurotransmitters, these injections got several other jobs to do on your body than just smoothen out wrinkles. 

The FDA has approved botox treatment for migraine. This happened in 2010, which means that, by now, innumerable people might have used botox to get rid of their headaches. 

The treatment requires you to get 31 botox injections at seven specific areas on your head and neck. You must get the shots about every 12 weeks. This treatment is perfect for people who suffer from chronic headaches that attack them every 15 days a month and last for more than four hours in each episode.

Experts conducted a couple of studies that monitored 1,384 adults in Europe and North America. Study results showed that patients given botox shots reported a significant reduction in the frequency of their migraines. 

Botox, which was associated with wrinkles, has now got a new meaning. So, even if you hate piercing your delicate facial skin to remove a few lines and folds, you cannot ignore botox now. It can help you get rid of that nasty, throbbing pain in the head.
