\n\tDo you suffer from chronic migraines and severe headaches? Treatment with Botox (botulinum toxin) has established itself as an effective method of providing relief for migraine sufferers. Originally developed to treat spastic muscles, Botox can now be a valuable addition to migraine therapy after careful diagnosis.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t
Migraine attacks are often accompanied by severe tension in the muscles of the shoulders, neck, throat and face. This tension can affect blood circulation, which can lead to a lack of oxygen - a cause of the typical severe headaches, often accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. Botulinum toxin works by inhibiting the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is responsible for muscle activation. This reduces muscle tension during a migraine attack. It is also believed that botulinum can prevent the transmission of pain signals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Targeted injections of botulinum toxin into the affected muscle areas, mainly in the face, head and neck, can often significantly reduce the frequency of migraine attacks and the severity of headaches. Many patients also report a reduced need for painkillers.<\/p>\n
The treatment usually involves several injections into different muscle groups and is typically repeated every 3 to 4 months. The effect usually lasts for 3 to 6 months, but can be prolonged after repeated treatments. In order to achieve optimal results and prevent unwanted side effects, you should avoid sport and sauna for two days after botulinum treatment.<\/p>\n
The cost of a botulinum toxin treatment for migraines starts from CHF 800 and varies depending on the number of areas to be treated.<\/p>\n
