Migraines Q&A

How does Botox relieve migraines?

Botox isn’t just for smoothing wrinkles. Because it works by blocking certain nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions, it can also be an effective treatment for chronic migraines. Your doctor uses a safe and highly purified form of botulinum toxin to perform targeted injections that temporarily relax the muscles and nerves involved in migraine pain.

For best results, treatment typically includes a series of small injections into specific areas of the head and neck over several months. These injections can help ease current migraine symptoms and, over time, reduce how often migraines occur and how severe they feel.

At Comprehensive Pain Management Partners, your doctor may recommend Botox therapy if you have chronic migraines that haven’t improved with oral medications or other treatments. They can also design a personalized plan based on your overall health and symptom severity, and may also suggest lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and other ways to help prevent migraines.

Am I a candidate for Botox therapy for migraines?

Migraines often cause intense, throbbing pain that lasts for hours or even days and is usually located on one side of the head. Many people also experience symptoms before, during, or after a migraine, such as:

Nausea or vomiting
Fatigue
Mood changes
Decreased appetite
Neck stiffness
Trouble concentrating
Sensitivity to light, sounds, or smells

You may be a good candidate for Botox if you have chronic migraines that occur 15 or more days each month. Your doctor will review your symptoms and may order blood tests or imaging studies to rule out other conditions before recommending Botox.

If it’s right for you, you can get the injections in the office, and your doctor will let you know how often you’ll need follow-up treatments.

How long does it take to notice migraine relief?

Botox doesn’t work instantly. It takes time for the medication to relax the targeted muscles and nerves. You may notice some mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites, but these effects usually go away within a few days.

Many people start to feel relief from migraine symptoms within about a week, with fewer and less intense migraines over the following months.
