Does Botox Work for Migraine Headaches?

In a study of adults who get chronic migraine headaches, injections of Botox® reduced the total number of days of headaches. They also reported more "crystal-clear"—pain-free—days each month, along with fewer days off work.

In another study, nearly half the people who took two rounds of Botox® shots reported that the number of days they had a headache each month was cut in half. After five rounds of treatment, that increased to about 70% of the people.

Botox® works for migraine headaches because it blocks chemicals called neurotransmitters that carry pain signals from your brain. Botox® is like a roadblock in that pathway. It stops the chemicals before they get to the nerve endings around your head and neck.
