Botulinum toxin injection, also known as botox, has been used frequently in plastic and aesthetic surgery treatments until today, but also is being widely used in autonomous nervous system disorders, spasticity with myopathy, and many neurological diseases that cause movement disorder lately. Pain relieving botox injection has been a preferred method in migraine treatment since 2010.
Applied in migraine and other diseases with chronic pain, botulinum injection secondarily and temporarily blocks the pain sensitivity of the central nervous system.
To achieve the right effect in botox injections, it should be injected intramuscularly rather than intradermally.
Reducing the number of attacks, weakening the sensation of pain, and eliminating additional problems such as nausea, vomiting and photosensitivity, migraine botox is an extremely useful treatment method that improves the life quality of the patients.
