How does Botox for migraines work?How Botox can work to reduce signs of chronic migraines
Botox works by stopping nerves from releasing acetylcholine. Which means your nerves can’t tell muscles to spasm (tighten). When used to help prevent headaches, Botox blocks nerve signals that cause pain.
In some cases, people who receive Botox injections to help prevent headaches experience improvements in their condition within 2 to 4 weeks. But remember, it may take two sets of injections and six months before you feel the maximum effects from Botox.
