Taking care of skin is lost migraine disease, that’s what has happened a few women who perform Botox injection treatments, But this is only limited to the treatment of ocular migraine (eye). So far people use beauty treatment Botox to eliminate wrinkles, and wrinkles on the face.

But a new study shows Botox may help prevent some types of migraine. Researchers reveal Botox can help reduce the recurrence of ocular migraine Migraine type. But this treatment does not show good result in migraine is caused by the pressure in the head.

In previous studies, the neurologist found most patients with ocular headache frequency decreased headache after Botox is injected, researchers tested this hypothesis by using a dose of Botox is much lower than the dose commonly used by headache specialists.

And it results obtained showed the same effect. The Researchers involved 19 patients who had Botox treatment for cosmetic reasons but also suffer from migraines. Among 10 patients had ocular migraine type while the other 9 patients had migraines due to the pressure in the head, some patients even have more than 1 type of migraine.

After Botox treatment for 3 months, as many as 13 patients experienced migraine pain reduction. 10 patients with ocular migraines and migraine patients 3 pressure, while the other 6 patients did not show any changes. But researchers can not specify why Botox may relieve pain in patients with migraine. There is the possibility Botox works by blocking pain receptors or reduce existing inflammation. Botox has previously been tested as a treatment for migraine, but did not get the desired results. This is because some patients get a dramatic response with this treatment while other patients do not respond to anything. So that further research is needed involving the number of participants more.
