Does Botox Work for Migraine Headaches?
OnabotulinumtoxinA, or Botox, was approved for adults who get chronic migraines. The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) approved Botox for chronic migraine where people have failed to respond to three oral preventive treatments and any medication overuse has been appropriately managed.
They have been a number of studies carried out on adults who get chronic migraine headaches. With receiving a treatment of Botox it cut down the total number of days they had migraines. They also had more pain-free days each month, and they reported fewer days off work.
Other studies showed that nearly half the people who took two rounds of Botox shots reported that the number of days they had a headache each month was cut in half. After five rounds of treatment, that increased to about 70% of the people.
Doctors think Botox works for migraine headaches because it blocks chemicals called neurotransmitters that carry pain signals from your brain. Botox is like a roadblock in that pathway. It stops the chemicals before they get to the nerve endings around your head and neck.

More information about the procedure:
After a successful consultation with one of our trained healthcare professionals you would get several shots of Botox around your head and neck once every 12 weeks to dull or prevent migraine headaches. To get the best results you require at least 2 treatments.
You may need 30 to 40 shots in all, and you’ll get an equal number on each side of your head. If you have migraine pain in one particular spot, you may need more shots there. You could see results 2 to 3 weeks after your first treatment.
A good response to Botox is usually a 30-50% reduction in how many headaches you have. Some people notice an improvement in their quality of life with Botox even if they don’t have a big reduction in headache days.

Excellent service, very friendly and very professional, would definitely recommend
So glad i found this place. I needed to check my kidneys health urgently and no chance thorugh NHS. Professional personnel, proactive in suggesting the right kind of tests without pushing for unnecessary ones, and received results within 48hrs, sent to my email. So no guesses or second hand results by phone. Very good
I had a really good experience and for the first time had no bruises from getting bloods taken. The nurse practitioner was very good and put me at ease.
Got an appointment within the hour and the results within the following hour. Excellent care provided by Brian. I would not hesitate to use this clinic again.
Same day appointment. Facility is spotless and professional. Brian was attentive and knowledgeable and respectful of my anxious situation. Went over and above to get me results, which came in about midnight (!), next day. Rates are fair and reasonable, compared to other places. Highly recommend. Will be back as needed.
Prompt service to get a medical carried out for one of our colleagues. Would recommend.
Excellent service felt very well cared for unlike another private clinic that I used in the past. I asked alot of questions which were answered very professionally. They gave me exactly what I was looking for which is hard to find in the area. The clinic is very affordable which I needed. Well done med assist and good luck for the future.
I had bloods checked and received a professional fast service. I had the bloods taken and the results were emailed to me the next day.
Booked online and got a same day appointment, service was really good, and Brian the nurse was informative and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.
