Botulinum Toxin: A Solution to Prevent Chronic Migraines
Botulinum toxin type A, well known for its aesthetic uses, also plays an important role
in the treatment of chronic migraines. By reducing the frequency and intensity of
attacks, it can considerably improve the quality of life of patients suffering from this
disabling condition.
How does botulinum toxin work?
The toxin acts on the nervous system by modulating neurotransmitter release and influencing pain pathways. It is administered by targeted injections into the muscles of the head and neck, with an effect beyond the injection zones thanks to its axonal transport.
What are the benefits?
- Fewer attacks: an average of 2 fewer migraine days per month.
- Improved quality of life: better tolerance of daily activities after a few months of treatment.
- Favorable safety profile: mild side effects such as bruising or ptosis, which diminish with repeated sessions
For whom is it suitable?
Botulinum toxin is mainly indicated for patients suffering from chronic migraines (more than 15 migraine days per month). Its efficacy for episodic migraines has yet to be confirmed.
Why choose this option?
- Alternative to oral treatments: fewer serious side effects and better tolerance.
- Targeted and personalized: injections adapted to areas of maximum pain for best results.
