Surveys of Botox patients also confirmed the findings. Those patients stressed the fact that after using Botox, they did not experience severe or even mild headaches, for at least six months. Here lies the success of Botox for headache.

Botox is injected in liquid form under the skin, usually into muscles.

How does Botox for headache work?

This basic fact about Botox is undisputed. The right Botox dosage can even paralyze the muscles. There are several theories about Botox for headache.

One theory says that muscle tension and spasms cause migraines and by eliminating the muscle tension with an injection of Botox it will also eliminate headaches.

If given before the headache begins, Botox may also prevent the onset of headache.

Many hold the contrary view that muscle tensions are not involved in headaches.

Another view is that muscle spasm irritates nerves that innervate them. When these nerves send signals to the brain in an increased amount, it causes pain and possibly headaches.

The action of Botox by inhibiting the transmission of nerve signals causes a lessening of the pain. Many researches think that migraine headaches are a result of inflammation of blood vessels.

However, muscle tension may also play an important role in the cause of headaches. Studies have shown Botox therapy to be more effective in curing tension headaches.

This was an expected result since Botox relaxes and can even paralyze the muscles.

Side effects and advantages
Till date no major side effects of Botox use has been reported. The two common and mild side effects are pain at the injection site and drooping of eyelids.

Since Botox is injected directly into the muscles and is not absorbed by the blood, there are fewer side effects compared to those produced by some headache medicines.

The other advantages of Botox for headache are, it is fast acting, and does not cause drowsiness, unlike some strong medications.

Doctors consider Botox safe and continue to prescribe it, even though it is still not FDA approved.
