What Is Botox for Migraines?
Botox is FDA-approved for the preventive treatment of chronic migraines. It works by blocking nerve signals that trigger pain and muscle contractions around the head and neck. This treatment is typically recommended for people who experience 15 or more headache days per month.
How Does Botox Treat Chronic Migraines?
- Botox is injected into targeted muscles in the head, neck, and shoulders.
- These injections help reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.
- It prevents the release of chemicals that transmit pain signals.
- Treatments are usually repeated every 12 weeks for ongoing relief.
What Is TMJ and How Is It Related to Migraines?
- TMJ (temporomandibular joint) connects the jaw to the skull.
- TMJ disorders can lead to jaw clenching, tension, and muscle strain, which are factors that often trigger or worsen migraines.
- Botox can be injected into jaw muscles to ease TMJ-related tension, helping reduce headaches, jaw pain, teeth grinding (bruxism), and facial discomfort.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Botox Migraine Treatment?
You may be an ideal candidate if you are:
- An adult experiencing chronic migraines (15+ days/month).
- Someone who has not responded well to oral migraine medications.
- Seeking a preventive, non-pill solution for migraine management.
- Experiencing both TMJ disorders and chronic headaches.
