Before the treatment:
If you have a headache, for this first step underlying reasons should be researched. Headache can be caused by many reasons from sinusitis to cranial cancers.
First of all neurology and if necessary ENT consultation should be completed. If you are diagnosed with migraine, your migraine treatment can be supported with botulinum toxin.
Botulinum Toxin Application for Migraine:
After the above-mentioned process is completed, it can be benefited from local and strong muscle relax feature of botulinum toxin.
The muscle can be relaxed in the temporal area, between brows and nape. With this relaxation, the pressure of the muscle on the nerve decreases.
When the pressure is decreased on the nerve, the pain also decreases. As a result, it is expected to cause less pain in less frequency.
The effect of botulinum toxin is temporary. As the mass of the muscle reduces when it is not used, the effect can be extended with repeated applications.
The effect is expected to last 2-6 months.
The procedure is performed with very fine needles and in a short time. Dosage is adjusted according to trigger points. The effect reaches the peak point within 10-14 days.
After the application, heat should be avoided especially for 2-3 days. It is also possible to relax these muscles permanently with endoscopic surgery.
