What is Chronic Migraine?
Chronic migraines are defined as severe or debilitating headaches that occur 15 or more days per month, with each episode lasting at least 4 hours. Many patients suffer for years, unaware that preventative treatment options exist.
How Does Botox Work for Chronic Migraine?
Botox, the first FDA-approved preventive treatment for chronic migraines, works by blocking the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission1. This revolutionary treatment can lead to:
- A 50% or greater reduction in headache days
- Decreased severity of migraine attacks
- Improved quality of life
