Understanding Botox Migraine Therapy
Dr. Lopez now limits her injection practice to migraine therapy. This focused approach allows patients with chronic headache concerns to receive care centered on whether Botox may be an appropriate part of their treatment plan.
Botox is Botulinum Toxin Type A, a neurotoxin that has been used therapeutically for more than 20 years to treat a variety of medical disorders. In migraine care, it has also been used with success to help manage chronic headaches in appropriately selected patients.
Who this treatment may help
Patients who experience headaches on more than 15 days out of the month, with headaches lasting more than 4 hours on those days, may qualify for Botox migraine therapy. Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light and sound may also support whether this treatment should be considered.
When to take the next step
If this sounds like your experience, the next step is to speak with your primary care physician. They can help arrange a consultation so your history, symptoms, and treatment needs can be reviewed carefully.
