BOTOX® for Chronic Migraine

Chronic Migraine means having 15 or more headache and migraine days a month each lasting 4 hours or more.

Common symptoms include:

• Moderate to severe headache or head pain
• Head pain that causes throbbing, pounding, or pulsating sensations
• Nausea and/or vomiting
• Sensitivity to light, noise, and/or smells
• Attacks that last from 4 hours to several days

BOTOX® was not submitted for FDA approval for fewer than 14 headache days a month. Therefore, it is not approved for headaches other than Chronic Migraine.

If you suffer from moderate to severe headaches (not migraine related), you may still benefit from simple BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments. Research-based evidence shows that people who suffer from anxiety and depression may benefit from cosmetic botulinum toxin treatments. Stress and muscle contractions contribute to tension headaches.

You may feel results as early as 4 weeks after receiving BOTOX® treatment; full effectiveness will be measured at week 24.

Only a doctor can determine if BOTOX® is right for you.
