BOTOX® is effective in treating chronic migraine headaches. To help ease these debilitating headaches, BOTOX® is injected around the pain fibers that cause headaches. The neurotoxin BOTOX® is injected into the nerve endings and blocks the release of chemicals involved in pain signaling, which in turn helps to suppress pain-related brain activity. The use of BOTOX® is not recommended for patients with fewer than 15 headache days per month.
What Are Migraines Anyway?
A migraine headache is a severe headache characterized by a pulsing sensation or throbbing pain on the affected side. These migraines can last for hours or even days and can be debilitating. A migraine headache is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to loud sounds and bright lights.
What are Chronic Migraines?
Chronic migraines are defined as having at least fifteen headache days per month and at least eight headache days with migraine-like symptoms for more than three months. Living a normal life can be difficult due to these frequent debilitating and severe migraine attacks.
Does Insurance Cover Chronic Migraine Treatments?
Almost every insurance plan covers the treatment for chronic migraine relief, including Medicare and Medicaid. Patients will be responsible for the copay and any out-of-pocket required by your insurance plan, but that is a minimal amount.
