Chronic Migraine Treatment St Albans

Service Description

Chronic migraine treatment at Emerald Skin Clinic in St Albans uses carefully placed botulinum toxin injections to help reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches in suitable adults. This treatment is intended for chronic migraine, generally defined as headaches occurring on 15 or more days per month, with migraine symptoms on at least 8 of those days. It works by temporarily interrupting pain-related nerve signals involved in migraine attacks. During your consultation, your medical history, symptoms and previous migraine treatments will be reviewed to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you. If suitable, small injections are administered across specific areas of the head and neck according to an established clinical treatment pattern. Results vary between individuals and the full benefit may develop gradually following treatment. Repeat sessions may be recommended as part of an ongoing migraine management plan.
