Botox for Migraines :
Botox is only FDA-approved for chronic migraines, which means headache on 15 or more days a month. “The more frequent the headaches, the better the patient does with Botox,” says Dr. Andrew Blumenfeld, Director, The Headache Center of Southern California. Botox is not recommended for patients who experience fewer than 15 headache days a month.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox is injected around pain fibers that are involved in headaches. Botox is injected near the nerve endings around where it blocks the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission. This averts activation of pain networks in the brain.
Botox prevents migraine headaches before they start but takes time to work. Patients experience benefit by an increase in the number of treatment cycles. A treatment lasts 10-12 weeks, and patients reported that two Botox treatments reduced the number of headache days by approximately 50%.
Who Uses Botox?
All adults who are aged 18 and over are approved by the FDA approves for the use of Botox to treat chronic migraine. Botox is often considered to be an “off-label” treatment when it is used for children or adolescents. This means that a Health provider can prescribe it but it is not guaranteed that the insurance company will pay for it.
How much does it Cost ?
In general, the FDA-recommended dosage of 155 units costs between $300 to $600 for each treatment. Because Botox is FDA approved for chronic migraine, it’s covered by most plans, including Medicare and Medicaid.
