Lasts for hours to days that impacts daily activities

When your chronic migraines start impacting your daily activities at work and at home, it’s time to seek help.

BOTOX® for migraines, dystonia and spasticity

While BOTOX® is more commonly known and used for aesthetic purposes, BOTOX injections are now used to treat and ease the symptoms of other health conditions, including migraines. When injected around pain fibers, Botox enters the nerve endings and blocks the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission.

Botox has been FDA-approved to treat chronic migraine in adults for over a decade, with 1,750 treatments given every day, and is the number one branded treatment for migraine.
