Could Botox Be Used In Combination With The Oral Prophylactic Therapy To Reduce The Frequency Of Migraines?

I am getting 17 + migraine headaches per month. What kind of relief could I expect, or if I only experience average results, what kind of a reduction in the number of headaches could I expect? How many if it is highly successful? Also, can Botox be used in combination with a more traditional oral prophylactic therapy?

Thank you for choosing HCM

I do not see how Botox can help with the headaches. There may be some possible ways but I do not think that this will be very useful.

Do let me know why your Doctor wants to give you the medication. All the best.
Hope this helps you
