Botulinum toxin treatment for adults with migraine who do not respond to conventional treatments or do not tolerate them. Injections are administered at 31 to 39 points in the forehead, neck, and shoulder muscles. The pain-relieving effect begins after approximately 48 to 72 hours and lasts for at least three months. Regular repeat treatments are recommended for long-term improvement. Privately insured patients can apply to have the costs covered by their health insurance.
