How does Botox for Chronic Migraine work?

BOTOX is injected into specified head and neck muscle areas on a repeated treatment schedule to help reduce headache days in adults with chronic migraine.

Results, recovery & safety

Potential effects include neck pain, headache, injection-site discomfort and muscle weakness. Patients should discuss swallowing or breathing problems and other neuromuscular conditions before treatment.

Results, treatment plans and recovery vary. Discuss your medical history, medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, neuromuscular conditions and previous toxin treatments with your clinician. Seek immediate medical help if you develop difficulty swallowing, speaking or breathing after treatment.
