Wait, migraines? Are you able to give me (what would technically legally be non-medical) information on that? Migraines run in my family and every family that comes into contact with my little brother. Aside from the botulism poisoning method, how does that work?
There is a positive feedback loop between psychic tension and scalp muscle tension. The more psychic tension aka stress you’ve got, the more migraine you’ll get, if you’re prone to migraine. Relaxing the scalp muscles with botox (or needles aka acupuncture or massage - botox is just far more efficient) will lead to less psychic tension will lead to less migraine.
I’m not sure whether it works in the long run if you do not work on reducing stress in other ways as well. I don’t know whether there are other mechanisms, though.
It’s actually a labeled use nowadays. Just Google it on a burner phone (once advertised think you have migraines you’ll see nothing but migraine ads for months)
I get quarterly botox injections from my neurologist for my migraines. It’s 20+ little injections in my brow, jaw, neck, and shoulders. Before insurance would allow it, we had to try all other available treatments/medications, including a monthly at-home injection you give yourself. For me, at least, it’s been way better than the earlier treatments. I used to have 2-4 migraines per week at a pain around a 5 or 6 with a couple a year that would hurt more like an 8 or 9. Now I get 0-2 per week, usually no worse than a 3 on pain. It’s pretty common to go a few weeks without any, then just get one a week in the last month before my next injection.
Results vary a lot, probably because there are a lot of potential causes and even how we experience our migraines can vary so significantly. Efficacy can fade with time, too. But for me, at least, it’s held out for several years, and worked better than I or my doctor even expected.
