Migraines
Our clinic can provide consultations on reducing Migraines.
Treating migraines with various products has become an effective and popular approach for many individuals suffering from chronic headaches. This method involves blocking nerve signals which can help prevent the onset of migraines and reduce their frequency and severity.
- Mechanism of Action:
These products work by inhibiting the release of certain chemicals in the brain that are involved in the transmission of pain signals. By targeting these neurotransmitters, the treatment helps to prevent the activation of pain pathways associated with migraines. This reduction in pain signalling can lead to a significant decrease in both the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks.
- Treatment Process:
During the procedure one of our experienced medical professionals administers the product at specific points around the head and neck. These points are carefully chosen based on their known association with migraine pain. The process is relatively quick, usually taking about 15-20 minutes.
- Benefits:
This treatment can be highly effective for individuals who experience chronic migraines. Many patients report a noticeable reduction in the number of migraine days, as well as an improvement in their overall quality of life. The benefits of the treatment can last for several months, and repeat sessions are usually recommended every 12 weeks to maintain the effects.
- Safety and Side Effects:
Some patients may experience a transient headache following the procedure. Serious side effects are rare but can include muscle weakness or drooping in areas adjacent to the injection sites. It is important for patients to discuss any potential risks with their healthcare provider prior to treatment.
- Duration of Effect:
The reduction in teeth grinding typically lasts for several months, with some people experiencing relief for 3 to 6 months before needing another treatment. Over time, some patients may find that they require treatments less frequently as muscles decrease in strength overall.
- Patient Suitability:
This treatment is generally recommended for those who have not responded well to other preventive medications or who experience significant side effects from these medications. A thorough evaluation by one of our healthcare professionals is necessary to determine if this treatment is an appropriate option based on the individual’s medical history and migraine pattern.
