migraine

The treatment of migraines with muscle relaxants (botulinum) has been around for many years, but it is often not used optimally.

Appointment

Indication

The discovery that migraine symptoms often disappear after an endoscopic forehead lift, in which part of the forehead muscles are removed, occurred by chance in 1999.

Trigger zones

It is now known that in some patients the pain is caused by pressure on sensitive facial nerves from muscles or vessels. There are different trigger zones in which this problem can occur: forehead, temple, back of the head/neck transition.

Tension headaches

Targeted therapy with botulinum can also help with tension headaches. Of course, other causes of headaches should first be ruled out through a neurological examination.

Treatment

Through the targeted partial paralysis of the muscles with botulinum, the symptoms can decrease significantly or even disappear completely.

Result

The full effect is achieved after 2 weeks and the duration of effect is between 3 and 6 months. I would be happy to advise you about the treatment of migraines with botulinum and surgical alternatives.
