Botox injection and its relationship with Migraine

In the past it was supposed that the cause of Migraine is based in the disorders in veins and neurons. Yet the main cause is not found. One out of each 4 women and one out of each 7 men has got migraine. Usually migraines are known as headaches with pulses and vomiting. There are various cures for the patients and also there are a lot of prescriptions of this regard.

Today the Botox is famous. Botox is a medication that is extracted from botulinum toxin A. This medication with affecting the neurons of the muscles will paralyze them temporarily. Physicists use this drug to cure the skin wrinkles and muscles spasms. But what is the relationship of Botox and migraine? About 10 years ago an Iranian surgeon in USA noticed that the patients who lose the frown muscle in the surgery will not suffer from migraine anymore.

This was an interesting finding. The relationship of a cosmetic surgery and migraine has been never reported before. After some related researches it was revealed that the some people with migraine were cured after that some muscles of forehead and some frowning muscles were paralyzed. For this purpose instead of cutting the muscles they intended to paralyze the muscle by Botox. But still the research in this field is going on.
