Botox injections can reduce the occurrence of migraines. While this helps in preventing all kind of migraines, it is particularly effective for those who feel crushing pain ie. i n cases where the patient feels that his head is getting crushed. This was revealed by a new study.

This study came out in February issue of Archives of Dermatology and said that experiments have shown that there is a correlation between the reduction in facial lines and the occurrence of migraines. This happened when botulinum toxin type A or Botox was used.

However, the same was less effective when it was used on patients who felt that migraine was putting pressure on their brain.

Till now it had been believed that Botox helps since it paralyzes the facial muscles, but there is large difference in the causes that have been suggested till now.

The beautifying stimulant also increases the production of sweat; thus, help in reducing headaches as well.

Migraines are one of the most devastating diseases as per the World Health Organization and affect both the developed and the developing nations. As of now in UK alone there are 9 million people who suffer from migraine.
