Migraine and tension headache is something that affects many people.

Migraines in particular can be very painful and debilitating. Studies have found that Botox can help to reduce the effects of both migraine and tension headaches.

It’s really not clear how Botox works to treat headaches. In other treatments Botox works by relaxing the treated area and preventing muscle contraction. But with migraines there is often no muscle involvement.

Instead it’s thought that Botox works by blocking a certain protein that carries the pain message to the brain.

Even though this treatment has been shown to be very effective in eliminating pain for many patients, individual results can vary. However if you are a chronic migraine sufferer Botox injections could provide much needed relief.
