Key takeaways
BOTOX is part of the pain management care we offer at LAOSS. For people living with chronic migraine, it is one of the most effective preventive treatments available.
BOTOX (onabotulinumtoxinA) is thought to work by blocking the release of chemical signals that carry pain messages from nerves around the head and neck. Given as a series of small injections every 12 weeks, it can lower the number of migraine days each month and make the migraines you do get easier to manage.
Our pain management specialists start with a full evaluation, confirm that chronic migraine is the right diagnosis, and build a plan around your history and your goals.
When we think of BOTOX, we often think of wrinkle reduction. But these injections have other uses. They also treat pain. Learn about BOTOX and the types of pain it can treat, including chronic migraine.
