BOTOX® for Chronic Migraine
BOTOX® prevents headaches and migraine attacks before they even start.
The #1 prescribed branded Chronic Migraine treatment is BOTOX®.
What is Chronic Migraine?
Chronic Migraine means having 15 or more headache and migraine days a month each lasting 4 hours or more.
Common symptoms include:
Moderate to severe headache or head pain
Head pain that causes throbbing, pounding, or pulsating sensations
Nausea and/or vomiting
Sensitivity to light, noise, and/or smells
Attacks that last from 4 hours to several days
What if I have chronic severe headaches that are not Chronic Migraine?
BOTOX® was not submitted for FDA approval for fewer than 14 headache days a month. Therefore, it is not approved for headaches other than Chronic Migraine.
If you suffer from moderate to severe headaches (not migraine related), you may still benefit from simple BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments. Research-based evidence shows that people who suffer from anxiety and depression may benefit from cosmetic botulinum toxin treatments. Stress and muscle contractions contribute to tension headaches.
How soon does BOTOX® for Chronic Migraine work?
You may feel results as early as 4 weeks after receiving BOTOX® treatment; full effectiveness will be measured at week 24.
