Who it helps
Adults with chronic migraine — headache on 15 or more days a month, with migraine features on at least 8 of them — who have not had enough relief from preventive medication.
What happens
The physician gives a series of small injections at set points across the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck and shoulders. The visit takes about 20 minutes and is usually repeated every 12 weeks. Effects build over the first cycles, and the physician reviews headache days with you to decide whether to continue.
