Migraine treatments

Migraine headaches affect 18 percent of women and 6 percent of men, with about one-third of patients with chronic migraine headaches having no relief with standard therapies.

Recent evidence suggests that many patients suffering from migraines have a significant benefit from the use of anti-wrinkle treatments. This finding was originally noted in patients who had anti-wrinkle treatments injections for cosmetic purposes, but there have now been a number of trials showing that many patients have a total reduction in migraines for 2-3 months after anti-wrinkle treatments, with most patients having a significant improvement in both the number and intensity of their migraines.

For those patients who have a significant improvement in migraine symptoms after anti-wrinkle treatments, surgical removal of the triggering muscles via endoscopic browlift or blepharoplasty incisions can produce a more permanent improvement in the migraine symptoms.
