Migraine Botox

Migraine (migraine) is a moderate or severe headache that occurs suddenly on one side of the head, mostly in the temple, forehead and nape. It is also known as Half Headache. Migraine, which starts in any age period, mostly in adolescence, decreases in frequency over time, continuous or recurrent, is among the primary headaches. Migraine is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to sound and light, blurred and blurred vision, and the smell of different odors, which negatively affect the comfort of daily life and can last for hours or even days. Migraine that occurs at least two to eight days in a month and progresses as four-hour pain attacks is considered chronic migraine. The incidence rate in women is approximately four times that of men. Chronic migraine ranks in the top twenty on the List of Diseases that Restrict Labor Force in the World.

There has not yet been an accurate, generally accepted determination about the cause of migraine. However, gene structure, age, gender and some activities and chemicals in the brain - nervous system are considered to be factors that cause migraine or increase its effect. Especially abnormal activities occurring in the brain affect the nerves, chemicals in the nerves and brain, blood vessels and the transmission between them.

The nerves that perform motor and sensory functions in humans are the Cranial Nerves (Cranial Nerves or Cranial Pairs), which emerge from the central nervous system located in the brain and are distributed throughout the body and have a paired structure, one on the right and one on the left. There are 12 pairs in total and each has a different function. The fifth of these pairs, the Nervus Trigeminus (5th Cranial Pair), controls biting, chewing and facial sensation. During the onset phase of migraine; the level of the hormone serotonin, which gives people a feeling of happiness and well-being, decreases. This releases communication chemicals (neurotransmitters) sent to the brain by the Nervus Trigeminus that cause pain. The released chemicals cause the pain to intensify and persist.

Migraine, which is caused by abnormal activities in the brain and nervous system, affects both health and daily life with the pain it causes and leads people to seek treatment for this problem. In the treatment of migraine, many alternative treatment methods, especially medical (medication), are applied. Especially the fact that botox has become available for many diseases and problems and its healing success is increasing day by day has become a hope for migraine patients.

Migraine Botox, which is applied by injecting botox into the nerves and muscles in order to weaken the Nervus Trigeminus nerve that controls the sensation in the facial area and to relieve migraine and the pain it causes, has started to be used effectively.
