The application of Botox for migraines represents a clinically established option for patients suffering from chronic disease courses. In our practice in Hamburg, we use the procedure to influence the release of pain mediators at the nerve endings. The aim of the treatment is, of course, to reduce the frequency of attacks and to alleviate the intensity of pain. We will clarify whether this form of therapy is also suitable for your symptoms in a detailed medical Counselling interview.

When pain dictates everyday life and planning.
Sufferers of chronic migraine experience headaches on at least 15 days per month, which can massively disrupt their ability to lead a normal life.
In addition to the pain, nausea and sensitivity to light and noise often occur, forcing a retreat into dark rooms and promoting social isolation.
Frequent use of acute medication can lead to medication-overuse headache, perpetuating a vicious cycle of pain.
The causes behind the throbbing pain:
The trigeminal system is permanently overstimulated in patients. The smallest stimuli are then enough to trigger a massive cascade of pain in the brain.
Tension in the head and neck muscles often acts as a mechanical trigger, which can dangerously lower the migraine threshold.
An uncontrolled release of inflammatory messengers in the blood vessels leads to the typical pain symptoms and makes the body susceptible.
A medical approach to pain control.
Botox for migraines can inhibit the release of messenger substances that transmit pain signals. This can dampen the over-excitation of nerves.
The aim of the treatment is to reduce the number of monthly attacks. This can provide noticeable relief in chronic cases.
By injecting at specific points, the head and neck muscles can be relaxed, which can minimise potential trigger factors.
