Migraine Prevention
"I just had my fourth Botox injection for migraine. So far it&#039;s helping. The migraines haven&#039;t been eliminated, but they&#039;ve been reduced in number and severity, and there are more days between clusters of headache days. I STRONGLY recommend going to a headache specialist or neurologist for an evaluation before trying this. Botox works best for migraines that involve involuntary tightening of the tiny muscles in the forehead, temples, and along the &quot;migraine band&quot; on the sides of the head. If those aren&#039;t contributing to a person&#039;s migraines, then Botox is unlikely to work. Be forewarned that getting needles stuck in your tender scalp does hurt, some days more than others. My neurologist prescribed a topical anesthetic cream for next time."
