what are the pros &cons for trigger point injections migraine therapy
Im not sure what your type of trigger point injections your talking about, but i have nerve blocks done every 3 months and that's where they inject meds in the back of your head with 2 different needles. I personally benefit from them, but they only last a few months and you have to have them done again. It's well worth it if your a migraine sufferer. 
I hope i answered your question.

Hi tammy,
Chris gave you some good information, thanks Chris!
Trigger point injections are only temporary pain relief from Migraine pain. These injections can last a few days, weeks or months.
Anyone who has three or more Migraines a month needs to be talking with their doctor about prevention. There's growing evidence that Migraine is a progressive brain disease. A recent study showed that Migraines can cause brain damage, and that people with three or more Migraines a month are more susceptible to this damage. For more information, see Is Migraine a Progressive Brain Disease? and Yes, Migraines Can Cause Brain Damage.
Does that help?
