Botox Therapy for Migraines
Fewer headache days. More room for your life.
BOTOX is a preventive treatment for eligible adults with chronic migraine. Explore whether it could help reduce headache days through XO’s medical migraine assessment.
Ask the XO TeamPrevention, not just getting through an attack.
For eligible adults with chronic migraine, BOTOX can help reduce headache days. It is a preventive treatment with injections in the head and neck, not a cosmetic appointment or a medicine for stopping an attack already in progress.
01
Assess your headache pattern
Bring your headache history and details of previous treatments. BOTOX is approved for adults with at least 15 headache days a month, each lasting four hours or longer.
02
Treat the head & neck
Treatment uses a set pattern of small injections in the head and neck. The usual prescribed schedule is every 12 weeks.
03
Track fewer headache days
Keep track of headache days and how they affect you. Your clinician will use that information to review your response and ongoing care. Results vary.
Ask XO about the medical assessment, treatment costs and insurance arrangements. This preventive treatment is not for immediate relief of a migraine attack.
GOOD QUESTIONS. CLEARER CHOICES.
Let’s talk about migraine care.
A few things to know before your visit. Have another question? We’re happy to help.
IMPORTANT TREATMENT INFORMATION
Prescription treatment; not suitable for everyone. Rare spread of toxin effects can be serious. Get immediate medical help for trouble breathing, swallowing or speaking after treatment.
How do I arrange a migraine appointment?
Contact XO about the migraine service rather than booking cosmetic Botox. The team will help direct you to the medical assessment.
Could Botox help my migraines?
It may help prevent headache days in eligible adults with chronic migraine. Your clinician will review your headache pattern, health and previous treatment to decide whether it is an option.
Will it stop a migraine I’m having now?
No. BOTOX is a preventive treatment, not immediate relief for an attack or a treatment for every kind of headache. Follow your clinician’s plan for acute symptoms.
Should I stop my other migraine medicines?
Do not change prescribed treatment without your clinician’s advice. Bring your complete medication list so the care team can discuss the appropriate plan.
Who should avoid treatment, and what are the risks?
BOTOX can cause neck pain, headache, muscle weakness, eyelid drooping and other adverse effects. It is not appropriate with an allergy to the product or infection at proposed injection sites. Tell the clinician about other toxin treatment, muscle or nerve conditions, swallowing or breathing problems, pregnancy and breastfeeding. The boxed warning describes rare spread of toxin effects; seek immediate medical help for trouble breathing, swallowing or speaking after treatment. Sudden severe or unusual headache or new neurological symptoms require urgent medical assessment, not a website inquiry.
